Career

Clohessy played for Young Munster in the All-Ireland League, where he made his name as a blindside flanker and number 8 and was a crucial player in the team that won the inaugural Munster Player Development League in 1996,[1] before being encouraged to switch positions to prop and playing for Munster during their first ever season in the Heineken Cup. He was selected in the Ireland squad that toured South Africa in 1998, alongside older brother Peter, but did not win any international caps.[2]

gollark: Wayland does, I think, have some flaws, and since I don't really want to be stuck with a tiling window manager I'm sticking with LXDE for now.
gollark: Well, it *is* more lightweight.
