Robert P. Honohan (born 1940) is an Irish Gaelic football coach, selector and former player. At club he played with Donoughmore and Mitchelstown, divisional side Avondhu and at inter-county level with the Cork minor and junior teams. In a lengthy coaching career, Honohan has had All-Ireland successes at different inter-county levels.
Playing career
Honohan began his club career with Donoughmore before transferring to the Mitchelstown club after taking a teaching post in the town. He was at centre-forward when his adopted club won the 1965 Cork IFC title after beating St. Vincent's in the final.[1] Honohan enjoyed further success by winning three North Cork JAFC titles in five seasons between 1969 and 1973.[2] His performances at club level earned his inclusion on the Avondhu divisional team, while he also played hurling with the Ballygiblin club.
Honohan first appeared on the inter-county scene with Cork during an unsuccessful two-year stint with the minor team in 1957 and 1958.[3] He was subsequently drafted onto the junior team and came on as a substitute when Cork beat London in the 1964 All-Ireland junior final.[4] Honohan later captained the junior team to a second Munster JFC title in three years before losing the 1966 All-Ireland junior final to London.[5]
Coaching career
Honohan first became involved in inter-county management when he was appointed coach of the Cork under-21 team in 1979. He held the position for 11 years, during which time he guided Cork to six All-Ireland U21FC titles.[6] Honohan combined this role with that of selector to the senior team that won the National League title in 1980 and the Munster SFC title in 1983.[7] He also coached the Cork minor team that lost consecutive All-Ireland minor finals in 1986 and 1987.
Honohan was recalled as a senior team selector in 1988.[8] The following three years saw Cork win three successive Munster SFC titles, a National League title and consecutive All-Ireland SFC titles in 1989 and 1990.[9] After stepping away from the senior team, Honohan later returned as under-21 team coach on two occasions. He also served as Cork's delegate on the GAA's Central Council.[10]
