Paul Bealin is a former Gaelic footballer who played for the Dublin county team. He is a former manager of three senior county teams: Westmeath, Wexford (resigning in October 2007) and Carlow (after two years at the helm). He currently manages a Wicklow Intermediate Football team for the 2019/20 season.[1] He is also the key account manager for Baro Lighting, in Dundrum, in Dublin 14.

Bealin is most remembered for his performances in his All-Ireland winning year with Dublin in 1995 in which he partnered Brian Stynes in midfield. Paul Caffrey, the Dublin senior football manager is quoted as saying, 'Paul Bealin is a great Dub and nobody needs to tell me that. A lot of people have great memories of him from his great years as well as 1995.[2]

He also won the National Football league with Dublin in 1993. Bealin famously guided Ballyboden St Enda's to their first Dublin SFC title in 1995 as player-manager.

Management[]

He managed Ballyboden St Enda's up to 2003 and then managed Blessington, from Wicklow in 2004. He then took a position as manager of Mullahoran in Cavan for two seasons in 2004 and 2005 guiding Mullahoran to two successive county finals which he lost to Cavan Gaels.

More recently,[when?] Paul succeeded Pat Roe as the Wexford senior football manager in 2005, Roe had stepped down after that year's championship.

Bealin was the Carlow manager but stepped down after one year in charge.

In September 2013, he was appointed as the Westmeath senior to succeed Pat Flanagan.[3] However, he was sacked from the position (also after one year).
