OTB Football · SUE RONAN: 'I definitely think there's more to come!' | Carla Ward in possession, Ireland out of it · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

I think that we've really developed a clear identity, we've raised standards, we've built a togetherness which is like a family.

I said that to the group this morning.

We have a character about us where if we go behind, we have to fight to get back in front.

We have to ensure that, you know, we continue to build on our identity.

And I think somebody asked me a similar question actually earlier.

And it's actually John Martin.

We were out for a walk and he said, how different is it to the group you picked up?

And I said, yeah, you know, I picked up a group that was hurt.

Lots of players had left.

Transition time and there was a lot of work to do.

So it's not...

It's not been easy and it's not happened overnight.

It's happened over a period.

And that's why it's really important that we continue that work because this group can get better and better.

And I believe that.

I fully believe that.

After the campaign, I looked at where we're at, what we've got.

what we do well, how I want to play but what are Ireland really good at and I think some of you in that press conference when I said it needed to be a little bit of Carla with the ball and Ireland without the ball and I sat down with Katie actually in London and we had a really long conversation about a lot of things and I remember thinking

If we can bring an Irish off-the-ball mentality and a Carla Ward mentality with the ball, this could be quite exciting.

And I think it has been.
