It's his age that is against him, but he's helped me a great deal since I came into the Irish squad.
Although his official role was the runner, he "had a significant involvement in coaching the Irish squad".
He also lined up for the Irish Under-19s squad between 1999 and 2000.

Galwey's involvement in the Irish national squad was more of a mixed bag.
All 26 members of the Irish squad had got on superbly, just like a club side.
I believe that this club atmosphere in the Irish squad is very important.
As of 2012, the 1988 Irish squad is also the most recent to win the national title.
He was named in the Irish squad for the 2009 summer tour to America.
Despite this talent, he was never part of the Irish international squad.
