Ex-GAA player Mossy Quinn has been appointed as the new CEO of LOI Champs Shelbourne, having left his role with Dublin GAA.
Shelbourne announced the news on Friday afternoon with Quinn, the St Vincent’s club-man, leaving his position as Dublin GAA’s commercial and marketing director to join the club.
Quinn has held the position with Dublin GAA since 2013 but is moving to pastures new.
He had a distinguished 10 year career with Dublin, signing off with an All-Ireland in 2011 before continuing to play with his club St Vincent’s up until recently.
During his peak, he was seen as one of Gaelic football’s top forwards while his longevity with his club was admired by many.

Shelbourne won the LOI title this year, beating Shamrock Rovers on the final day and in a statement they said Quinn ‘brings an understanding and experience of operating in an elite level sport environment, having represented Dublin in inter-county football for over a decade and a long and decorated club career with St. Vincents GAA.’
They hailed his catalogue of work for Dublin GAA since 2013, saying ‘he helped spearhead an era of remarkable commercial growth and the continued evolution of Dublin GAA off the pitch.”
Speaking about his appointment, Tomás Quinn said: “I’m thrilled to join Shelbourne FC at such an exciting time in the club’s journey. I’m looking forward to working with the board, the staff and the fans to build on last year’s achievements and taking a leadership role in continuing to lay the foundations for many years of future success and stability.
“Shelbourne is a club with a proud history and strong community ethos and I’m enthused to deepen the connection between the club, its community, its partners and its growing fan base.
“Coming in to the club at this time in its illustrious history is a privilege and it is an immense honour to lead this Dublin institution as CEO.”
Shelbourne FC co-owner, Neil Doyle said: “We are delighted to welcome Tomás to Shelbourne FC – I know he will be central in capitalising on the club’s momentum over the coming years.
“His appointment will support our continued drive to elevate all aspects of the club’s performance and further strengthen our engagement with fans and the local community.
“Tomás understands what it means to be a football fan, a commercial leader and an elite sportsperson – a unique combination which equips him to lead the next chapter in the club’s development.”
Co-owner Doyle will oversee club operations before Quinn takes up the role in April 2025. Quinn takes over from Barry Mocke who departed the role earlier this week.
