# Nigel Dineen

Nigel Dineen is a former Gaelic football manager and player who has served as a member of Roscommon County Council since June 2014. He played for the Castlerea St Kevin's club and at senior level for the Roscommon county team.

## Playing career

Dineen won three Roscommon Senior Football Championship titles while playing for Castlerea St Kevin's: in 2003, 2008 and 2009. Castlerea lost to Sligo in 2010.

## Post-playing career

In 2011, Dineen was appointed as manager of the Roscommon under-21 team for the 2012 season, having been a selector under the former management team. He led Roscommon to the Connacht Under-21 Football Championship title in his first year in the job and later to the All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship final, where his side lost to Dublin.

Dineen challenged Kevin McStay for the Roscommon senior management role ahead of the 2017 season, but pulled out a month later, stating that he had "strong reservations about the integrity of the selection and recruitment process".

In June 2014, Dineen was elected to Roscommon County Council as an Independent.
