Actually met him in person couple of years back down at Kinsale swim, wasn't any surprise he clocked fastest time and a new record around Sandycove Island swim, think it was 19:55.

Looked at replay of Chris Byran Olympic qualifier yesterday, he was 15th over an hour in but finished 41st.... I'm not sure but I think top 10 go through so I don't think he qualified for Rio.....
