Bourke has big shoes to fill, but O’Shea insists the levels his predecessors set will be maintained regardless through this “change that we’re adapting to”. Like Long and Quill, Ní Mhuircheartaigh told her team-mates directly before her heartfelt statement dropped on Sunday 22 December. O’Shea is keen to pay further tribute to the Corca Dhuibhne great, labelling her as the “ultimate role model”.
