O’Callaghan stands by his criticism of Rowing Ireland

Former Ireland team manager Mick O’Callaghan insists he has no regrets about his stinging criticism of Rowing Ireland’s outgoing board at the weekend’s annual general meeting in Dublin.

O’Callaghan blasted officials and claimed they had “driven out” the High-Performance Director, Morten Espersen.

Espersen (65) resigned in January - five months after guiding Ireland to a first Olympic medal in rowing.
