It's a big year for me. We could get promoted, and I could play for Ireland in the World Cup in Germany. I wouldn't have come back to Palace if I didn't feel sure we could get promoted. Palace are better than Championship standard, and now it's up to us to prove that.

I think I can play in Ireland (at the next Ryder Cup). My current world ranking is ridiculous and I want to get back in the top 25 next year. I know I can, in fact I know I am a top 10 player really.

The overall growth of data storage is going up at about a 100 percent every year, and in conjunction with that, systems are getting more complex. So there is a big demand for solutions to help manage this growth. Storage area networks (are) still in their infancy. It's a fairly small market and I think the experts expect to see very rapid growth in the order of 50-to-100 percent in the market for a number of years.

Yes, I will play the World Cup (if we qualify).

Going to the World Cup is an objective and in order to do that I need to play matches.

We have less than one year before the World Cup. I want to have the best team in all the games, the qualifiers and every friendly before the competition.
