It was during [Alan] Mulholland's time as manager, immediately before Kevin Walsh, that Comer was introduced to the senior inter-county set-up. He was a late bloomer, not having made the county minor squad and also not involved in the St Jarlath's Hogan Cup final side of 2011... [Mulholland:] 'He wasn't in the system from an early age. So Alan [Flynn] brought him into that under 21 team in 2013. That was his first taste of football at county level'.
