Cora Staunton Q&A: ‘I love working with the Travelling community’

Cora Staunton is widely-regarded as one of the finest players in the history of Ladies Football. But off the pitch, the Mayo star is incredibly active in her local community, and working with members of the Travelling community. This evening, the Carnacon superstar lines out for Mayo in the TG4 All-Ireland semi-final against champions Cork (4.45pm, Cavan).

Q: Seems you’re pretty busy at the moment?

A: Everything’s work and football. I take unpaid leave to do the Sky work (Staunton is a Sky Sports Living for Sport Athlete mentor), whatever I want myself, it could be one or two days a week.
