Irish squad with Jason Quigley at Dublin Airport this morning
The Irish squad flew out from Terminal 1 to Romania at 10am.
Irish coach Paddy Gallagher explained that Quigley, who also claimed European Youth gold for Ireland, left Terminal 2 to meet the Irish team and wish them the very best of luck at the Europeans.
“A brilliant gesture from the Donegal middleweight as he heads on his own journey towards world domination in the professional game,” said Gallagher.
The European Schoolboy Championships begin in Valcea, Romania tomorrow.
