Quote:
REAP was the brainchild of DCU student, Daragh Sheridan and former Ireland football manager, Eoin Hand. Eoin is also the FAI's career guidance counsellor. Daragh, a student of Sport Science and Health at DCU and former Aston Villa player, experienced the trauma of non-selection in his professional football career. As the joint driving force behind the initiative, both are determined that other young players who leave full-time education at an early age to pursue football careers in England are given every opportunity to reinvent themselves.
