Girvan Dempsey will join a pantheon of Irish rugby greats when he is inducted into the IRUPA Hall of Fame on May 12th.
The former Ireland full back, who announced his retirement from rugby at the end of this season, will be inducted alongside the likes of Mick Galwey, Axel Foley and Keith Wood at the Bord Gáis Energy IRUPA Awards to be held in Dublin’s Burlington Hotel.
“I am honoured to be accepting this award and joining the former players already inducted into the Bord Gáis Energy IRUPA Hall of Fame. This award means an awful lot to me especially as it comes from players I played with and against during my career,” said the Magners League, Heineken Cup and Triple Crown winner.
