Inside Katie McCabe's career ahead of Republic of Ireland's clash with Turkey
Katie McCabe has reunited with her Republic of Ireland teammates in Instanbul ahead of their double header against Turkey and Slovenia in the coming days. The Irish captain paused celebrations following Arsenal's Champions League victory over the weekend. The Irish women's team face Turkey on Friday followed by a match against Slovenia in Cork on Tuesday in their bid to secure top spot in Nations League Group B. Katie McCabe has reunited with her Republic of Ireland teammates in Instanbul ahead of their double header against Turkey and Slovenia in the coming days. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile At 29 years old, Katie has boasted a massively successful career to date, winning multiple FA Cups, Super Leagues, League Cups as well as most recently the UEFA Champions League with Arsenal. As a youngster, Katie played on the boys' youth teams for Kilnamanagh AFC and Crumlin United FC before joining her first girls' team in Templeogue at 10 years old. She played for both the girls' and boys' teams until she turned 13 years old. In 2011 Katie signed with Raheny United where she won two league titles as well as three consecutive FAI Women's Cups. She played in the Women's Champions League for the club during her time there. The Dublin native was set to play for the Florida State Seminoles women's soccer team in the US but the move didn't go ahead due to the player suffering a broken leg.

Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile Chelsea, Glasgow City and Manchester City all made offers to sign Katie in 2015 but the left back chose Arsenal but was loaned out to Glasgow City in 2017. Katie returned to Arsenal in 2017 and has been crucial in helping the club get to victories, including the FA Women's Cup; FA Women's Super League and the FA Women's League Cup. Earlier this year, Katie played her 250th game for Arsenal. Playing against Chelsea on January 26, the game was also memorable as it was where the 29-year-old's received her second red card of her career. Last weekend, Arsenal won the Champions League after beating Barcelona 1-0. It's Katie McCabe's first Champions League, with the international player joining just three other Irish women boasting the accolade.

It's McCabe's first Champions League, with the international player joining just three other Irish women boasting the accolade. McCabe made her debut for the Republic of Ireland in 2014 at the UEFA Under-19 Championship. The team got to the semi-final stages but were knocked out by Netherlands. Katie made her senior debut in March 2015 against Hungary. She became captain two years later, making history as the youngest captain in the history of the team at just 21 years old. The team qualified for the 2023 Fifa World Cup, the first major tournament of their history but were eliminated from the tournament following a 2-1 loss versus Canada. The Irish team face Turkey and Slovenia in the coming days as they hope to claim the top spot in the Nations League Group B. The team may need a favour from Greece, who face the Slovenians on Friday, or else Carla Ward's side will need to beat Slovenia by at least four goals in Páirc Uí Chaoimh next week.

IRHA President Ger Hyland said that Ireland is "the only country in the The maximum motorway speed in Ireland is 120km/h. But tractors can be driven on the same roads as long as it can travel at or maintain a speed of 50km/h, according to the Road Safety Authority (RSA). Hyland said that if Ireland is serious about road safety, they must ban tractors from the fast moving roads. The IRHA has claimed that many of their vehicles are getting stuck behind tractors and slow movers on the motorway. This then leads to congestion and dangerous driving in attempts to overtake. They have urged the government to work with the Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) to keep tractors off the motorway. Instead, they proposed that the vehicles be kept to regional and local roads. The speed limit on regional roads is typically 80-100km/h, while on local roads it's between 50-80km/h. Hyland said that tractors "cause a build-up of traffic behind them on the motorway", adding that they can cause people to pull into another lane at the last minute to avoid them. He added: "Tractors are a regular sight on our motorways during the summer months, sometimes pulling trailers. "A family in a car driving in heavy fog on the motorway at 120km/h could come across this tractor and have very little time to react. "This is presenting a clear and present danger." 5 The road closures will also affect some bus routes Credit: Getty Images - Getty

Katie Power: 'It was great to have done it … but those two weeks were tough going'
Katie Power never intended to become one of the faces of a national campaign. When she lined up for the toss as Kilkenny captain alongside Dublin's Aisling Maher for the Leinster camogie semifinal, she never imagined that image with the match referee would become iconic in terms of the whole shorts and skorts controversy. Ordered back to the dressing room to change so that the match could proceed under the existing rules governing playing attire, that was the image that quickly went viral. Speaking at the official launch of the 2025 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland camogie championships at Croke Park, only a matter of days after delegates to Special Congress voted 98 per cent in favour of allowing players a choice, Power admits to being 'overwhelmed' by it all. Kilkenny captain Katie Power. Pic: Michael P Ryan/Sportsfile How the whole episode was 'tough mentally' and 'very draining'. But how the legacy of that stance has been a powerful and positive one. She ended up being the target of podcasters, social media influencers – you name it. All are looking for a piece of her and to talk through the impact of the protest action that day, which snowballed into a national and even international debate. How had she found the last few weeks? 'I found them tough going. I didn't expect what happened to happen – we were just making the protest to voice our opinions. I definitely wasn't aware of what was going to come. 'The two weeks after that were tough mentally, very draining. The phone was just absolutely blowing up, but for the better. 'I'm happy that we decided to do it. Obviously, what came in the aftermath was huge, but it's done with now. Kilkenny captain Katie Power. Pic: Michael P Ryan/Sportsfile 'It was great to have done it, for the future of camogie and the younger girls, it's great. But those two weeks felt like two months.' Right in that moment of the matchday protest, she didn't know if the backlash would be negative rather than an overwhelming tide of support for player choice. The picture of a male referee, Ray Kelly, instructing two female captains on playing gear carried a power all of its own. 'I was probably away with the birds a small bit. It was only after the match that it kind of dawned on me that I was obviously in for the toss, and that was what was going to go out, that picture. It just didn't dawn on me until after that. 'Aisling is obviously a rep with the GPA [Gaelic Players Association]. She was there, obviously in for the toss and she kind of understood what was going to happen more than myself maybe. I think we did it for the right reasons.' Pic: © INPHO/Tom Maher The campaign for immediate change led on to the Munster final being postponed when Cork and Waterford declared their intention to wear shorts, and culminated in the Camogie Association quickly calling a Special Congress to vote on the issue of players being allowed a choice. Power didn't hear the news until the next morning. As a personal trainer, she had a 5 am start, so she was tucked up in bed for the verdict. 'I was working early, up at five o'clock so I said, 'here, I'm not going to be able to change this now', and I woke up, checked the phone.' She was confident it would be passed, especially after the example of Kilkenny, where players had been mandated through their clubs, and the support for change was obvious. 'There was too much about it for it not to go through. 'In Kilkenny anyway, the surveys went out through all the clubs, and if it was the same in every other county, there was only going to be one decision.' Were there any messages from people she didn't expect? 'Oh, a huge amount. Famous people, famous influencers, podcasters. I was trying to work, and they'd be looking to talk, and I just didn't have time for that. 'I did not see that coming at all and it was great because it did give it a huge exposure. I suppose that's probably what gave it that extra push for it to just get passed and to bring the Special Congress forward as well.' Power is asked if she thinks there's a way of turning all the publicity of the last few weeks into a positive for the game. 'Oh, I think the whole thing can be turned into a positive,' she says. 'People that have never really taken notice of camogie have taken notice. The amount of messages that we got from mothers of young girls that play camogie. Or teachers in schools that teach girls, bring them to camogie games or the blitzes. 'So that's another positive, that they now have the choice.'

Louise Quinn: 'You never want to stop playing for Ireland but it must happen some time'
Louise Quinn says that she was 'sobbing at the airport' on Sunday afternoon, as she left to join up with the Ireland squad in Istanbul. Quinn and her partner Eilish welcomed Darragh into the world back in March, and this stretch, ahead of Friday's Nations League encounter against Turkey, will be the longest she has ever been away from their young son. Darragh's arrival was a major factor in the veteran defender announcing her retirement a few weeks ago. The Blessington native turns 35 next month and has struggled with a hip issue for much of this season. However, she made herself available for Ireland boss Carla Ward for this crucial Nations League double-header, against Turkey, before they face Slovenia in Pairc Uí Chaoimh, where Quinn last featured for Ireland in the 3-1 win over France last July.

'I wanted to do my best to make myself available to end this campaign,' Quinn explained from the team hotel in Istanbul yesterday. 'With the timing of when the Championship finishes, Birmingham wanted to put something together. Was lovely they wanted to give me a send-off, but in my head, I was thinking of getting myself back fit and do everything to make myself available, and then it was up to Carla if she wanted to bring me in. Louise Quinn. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile 'Thankfully, that's how it went and I'm back.' Having lost experienced players such as Niamh Fahey, Diane Caldwell and Julie-Ann Russell, Ward might have been tempted to try and change Quinn's mind on retirement, given that her leadership skills are needed more than ever. 'No, not really, because I am a grown woman and I have to make those decisions,' says the 121-times capped defender. 'But I would have spoken to her when she came into the job, and just in general, and she was hoping and wondering when I would be coming back from injury. Republic of Ireland's Anna Patten, Lily Agg and Louise Quinn. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile 'For me, it has always been positive that she wanted me around if I have been fit and able. 'Listen, if I could keep the Irish team as my club team forever, that would be me now, I would be set. This is the team I could play with forever, and leaving this team is the most difficult thing about retirement. 'It has been my whole life. That was the hardest thing, you want to stop and take that time but you don't want to stop that feeling of how magic it is, coming into camp and playing for your country. But it has to stop at some stage.' Louise Quinn. Pic: David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile Quinn's hip problem meant she missed the heartbreaking Euro 2025 play-off defeat to Wales, and she feels that some of the difficulties in this campaign have been a hangover from that disappointing result in the Aviva. 'For me, you could maybe see a little bit of a hangover from those games. There has to be. We have really strong characters, we have leaders, we have personalities. It's now just trying to gradually step in for them to ease into some of these leadership roles that have been missing. Louise Quinn. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile 'We absolutely have some of the girls that it's natural to them, and they probably do it at club level, and now again, you're asking, okay, how about another step up, another level? 'Can you do it at an international level? And it's not going to happen like clicking your fingers. 'But we have some really strong people, strong personalities and so for me I can see that the team has grown through this campaign. And I think that's what is most important, and now we've really got to get the results and back it up.' Denise O'Sullivan and Louise Quinn.

However, if the team does end up qualifying for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil, they will do so with Quinn cheering on from the side. As much as she is going to miss the camaraderie of the dressing room and representing her country on the international stage, the arrival of Darragh has changed priorities for Quinn. Louise Quinn. Pic: INPHO/James Crombie 'Obviously, my son is coming along; he's been a big part of the decision. You want to have that time that I've never had. I've constantly missed out on events with friends and family, just seeing them for little more than 24, 48 hours, actually being able to go home and enjoy Christmas. 'I've missed so much with my own family and friends, now that I have my own little family, I want to be able to be there and (be) a bit more present, and potentially (have) a schedule that's more flexible. You miss one training session and it could be you start or don't start. 'I did go to my cousin's wedding in the summer. I flew in for less than 24 hours, went to the wedding, drove back home later that night and got a flight first thing at o'clock in the morning. 'This isn't how I wanted to celebrate my family all the time. 'Darragh probably doesn't have a clue really, but I just think it's important that I'm also around and flexible and there for Eilish. It's always an important time, but this is so new that you want to have all hands on deck and look after him.' Quinn insists that Ward has offered her no guarantees of starting either of these games, but it feels like this double bill is the perfect way for supporters to bid farewell to one of Irish football's great servants.
