Daire Ó Baoill

Playing career Ó Baoill played for the Finn Harps under-19 team He did so to improve his football, as he explained in 2018: I knew at the end of the day it would be GAA, that's why I played as much soccer as I could. Two years ago I remember going from one game playing from Harps, I think we beat Bohemians 3–1, and then I had to line out in championship for Gaoth Dobhair against Termon. We lost to Termon in the last group stage game. You're going from game to game and I just knew the legs wouldn't be able to do that for much longer. The manager I had at Finn Harps, Joe Boyle, he was a Gaelic man too at heart and he understood the decision at the end of the day. He'd still be getting onto me and things like that.

Ó Baoill won a Donegal Senior Football Championship medal with his club in 2018, scoring two points in the final.

He then played during Gaoth Dobhair's first ever Ulster Senior Club Football Championship-winning campaign later in 2018, scoring a first-half hat-trick of goals (including a penalty kick) to defeat eleven-time Ulster championship winners Crossmaglen Rangers in the semi-final at Healy Park in Omagh.

Ó Baoill then played in Gaoth Dobhair's final defeat of Scotstown (who had won the competition on four previous occasions), also at Healy Park.

Inter-county Ó Baoill featured at minor and under-21 level for his county under the management of Declan Bonner. It was his only appearance for Donegal during that league campaign. Ó Baoill made another substitute appearance in the semi-final win over Down, likewise in the final, as Donegal secured that year's championship.

Donegal qualified for the 2019 National Football League Division 2 final and Ó Baoill started the game as Donegal defeated Meath to win the title.

Ó Baoill came on as a substitute in the final of the 2019 Ulster Senior Football Championship against Cavan, scoring one point and claiming his second Ulster senior title. He started against Fermanagh in the quarter-final and was a substitute in the semi-final win over Tyrone.

Personal life Ó Baoill was "away" for some of his club's 2023 season.
