Aisake won’t be playing for Ireland, says Tohill

AISAKE O hAILPÍN may be the toast of Leeside this week but the Cork full-forward will not be representing his country in the International Rules series later this year, according to Irish manager Anthony Tohill.

“We will be concentrating our energies on looking at inter-county footballers and Irish players that are plying their trade in the AFL,” said the Derryman, when asked about Aisake, who spent three seasons on the books of Carlton in the AFL.

It is just over a month since Aisake declared his interest in playing against Australia.
