What does your county manager do for a living (officially). Who do they work for and in what sort of role?

Mickey Harte, Eamonn Fitzmaurice, Malachy O'Rourke, Brian Cuthbert, Peter Creedon, Brian McIver all teachers which is the overwhelming career of choice for the GAA intercounty manager - Probably a few more teachers in the mix as well.
Jim Gavin something to do with aviation. DAA I think.
Jim McCorry works with the council.
Pat Holmes was/is with Ulster Bank and Noel Connelly has a business of some sort.

Surprised Walsh has retired at his age. He's still appearing in club matches ffs. He has to have something else surely.

Left the guards to become a developer during the boom and exceeded the leave of absense time so he couldn't return. Wound up his company during the crash so I am not sure what he is doing now.

Noel Connelly runs his own specialist dry wall business has a huge maintenance contract with Coca Cola.
Pat Holmes is a chartered Accountant with Ulster Bank.

He must be doing something over and above his amateur role in Galway
