    The Ireland Fund are hosting an event in Eureka 89 on 31st of March.

    It is going to be a Q & A event, featuring 3-4 Irish sports people.

    I can't confirm names yet, as we are awaiting final confirmation, but I guarantee there are a couple of really big speakers.

    Tickets will be $50 for members, $100 for non members, but will include food and drink.

    I'll post up the guests once I get official confirmation

    Guests have been finalised.

    3 guests on the night will do a Q&A.

    Joe Schmidt will be in town, Damien Duff will be doing his only public appearance of his season in Melbourne and John O'Neill, ex-CEO of both Australia Rugby and the FFA.

    There will be competition run on Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn over the next couple of weeks to have your question answered by the panel.

    EDIT: MODS, as this is a charity, I assume that this is okay to post here?
