TIES THAT BIND: Ireland Women's National Team midfielder Lily Agg in Cobh.

At a Cobh hotel named originally in honour of Queen Victoria’s 1854 visit, Lily Agg’s arrival this week represented a new form of royalty.

The Commodore Hotel is a reminder of Agg’s lineage, the working environment of two relatives, Sabrina Keohane and Catherine Greaney.
