Eddie helping Irish Olympic Handball cause

Former Ireland senior rugby coach Eddie O’Sullivan is lending his experience to the Irish Olympic Handball Association as it pursues a spot at the 2016 Games.

O’Sullivan, currently in the frame for a return to Munster, will come on board as a high-performance adviser. The sport is currently preparing a submission to the Olympic Council for a team game which they hope will be accepted for the 2016 Olympic Games.

And O’Sullivan’s consultancy role, which is understood to be a voluntary position, will give the Irish team a more professional approach.
