Daniel Quirke (born 1968) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer and hurler who played for club side Clonoulty–Rossmore and at inter-county level with the Tipperary senior football team.[1]
Quirke first played Gaelic football and hurling at juvenile and underage levels with Clonoulty–Rossmore. He won a total of six divisional minor and under-21 titles between 1982 and 1988 as well as an All-Ireland Colleges BHC title with Cashel CBS in 1982. He was still a minor when Clonoulty won the Tipperary JAFC title in 1985 before securing the Tipperary IFC title the following year.[2]
At inter-county level, Quirke spent two seasons as a dual player at minor level in 1985 and 1986 before progressing onto the under-21 teams. He scored 3-02 when Tipperary beat Offaly by two points in the 1989 All-Ireland U21HC final.[3] Later that season he was a part of the Clonoulty team that won a first Tipperary SHC title in over 100 years after a defeat of Holycross-Ballycahill in the final.[4]
Quirke made a number of appearances with the Tipperary senior football team between 1991 and 1993. His club career came to an end after winning a second Tipperary JAFC title with Clonoulty-Rossmore in 2000.[5]
Quirke's son, Dillon, also played for Clonoulty–Rossmore and Tipperary.[6]
