    Question Professional Irish Players

    Professional Irish Players .... are there any? I know there have been a few in England and in the States but are there any nowadays?
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    The Arsenal girls are all Pros. Or at least they're employed by Arsenal. I know one of them and she's employed as a community relations officer. She basically goes arund schools taking girls for football training. She's basicallya full time footballer though

    AFAIK we didn't have any pros in the old US league

    I know the FAI have had one or two girls employeed in the past as community officers (having said that i cant say if that was every full time or just a summer job), definitely would be a good way of approaching it if possible.
