I think there should be a thread dedicated to rowing, as there seems to be an awful lot of rows going on here lately.
Defnitely the top Irish performance at Tokyo - the four only formed in the spring and rowed down the Brits in the last 250m of an Olympic final to take the bronze. All four came out of the national squad system - proof that the funding delivered.Rowing tops Sport Ireland funding as IABA under review
Sport Ireland has today announced a multi-year funding package of €14.2m for Irish athletes in the run-up to the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, with Rowing Ireland surpassing Athletics Ireland as the main beneficiary.www.rte.ie
Rowing Ireland will receive financial aid totalling €3.9m in a four-year cycle, which began in 2021.
Paralympics Ireland will be funded to the tune of €3.7m, with Athletics Ireland (€3.365m), Hockey Ireland (€3.3m), Irish Sailing Association (€3.3m), Horse Sport Ireland (€3.1m), Swim Ireland (€2.9m), Cycling Ireland (€2m) and Golf Ireland (€2m) the next governing bodies in the pecking order in terms of funding.
The Irish Athletic Boxing Association's coffers were boosted by an injection of €770,000 from Sport Ireland in 2021, but funding for 2022-2024 has yet to be confirmed and will only be decided on at the conclusion of an ongoing review and compliance with Sport Ireland's governance code.
