Caoimhin Kelleher has praised Republic of Ireland Interim Head Coach John O'Shea despite the disappointing end of season 3-0 loss away to Portugal.

The Irish team's man of the match also remarked that their performance had to be ‘a lot better' as they fell to a second defeat in four games under the Waterford man’s tenure.
