“Dublin GAA are very fortunate to have such a high calibre management team leading our senior footballers,” said Dublin chair Ken O’Sullivan. “Ger, himself, has been hugely successful as both a player and coach across his career.
“I’m delighted to see Dean, Denis and Stephen get involved with the management of the Dublin senior football team, having previously given so much to Dublin GAA during their playing careers.
“All three are among the most decorated players the game has ever seen and have been part of panels that have brought historic levels of success to Dublin over the last 15 years.
“Niall has also played a key role in the success and growth of Gaelic games in the county with Dublin, with St Vincents and with DCU at colleges level.
“I’d like to wish Ger, his management team and the panel all the very best for the 2026 campaign and beyond.”
