Seamus O’Connor is Ireland’s first Olympic snowboarder and will be competing at Sochi. He’s a US born teenager, with an Irish dad. His mother is Russian, from a town about 100K from Sochi.My friend and colleague Franz Strasser interviewed him the week before last at his home in Park City, Utah, and made this cool video. I’d be delighted if you’d consider sharing it on Broadsheet…

I guess this kinda qualifies…Quotefish is a bootstrapped startup based in Wicklow, a kind-of tradesmen.ie but for every kind of small businesses. Since we launched in September last year, we’ve had a few hundred Irish businesses register with us and a few thousand Euros of work offered to them from people looking to give work to local businesses.We’ve also been nominated and runners up or finalists in four awards (that’s almost one a month).If you need something done, don’t pick up the phone, just post it on Quotefish, and businesses will contact you.
Irish-made stuff marked ‘Irish-made stuff’ to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie. No fee. Nothing fishy.

The Men’s National Lacrosse Team in Ireland are on their road to Denver but they need your help to get there. As the team is entirely player funded, there is added pressure on players outside of their rigorous physical training schedule to scrimp and save every penny they have we are looking for ordinary, decent lacrosse fans to step up and Be Our Hero.
