Horse Sport Ireland CEO, Denis Duggan, said, “It is a great honour for the athletes’ achievements at the European Championships to be acknowledged and celebrated by the Taoiseach.”
“This recognition reflects the scale of their success and underscores the significance of the sport horse sector to Ireland.
“Horse Sport Ireland has a focus on developing youth programmes and supporting young athletes. This is key for the industry and Ireland's competitiveness in equestrian sport into the future.”
Dr. Úna May, CEO of Sport Ireland, added, “It is fantastic for Irish sport that our youth show jumping athletes are winning at an international level, in what is is an incredibly competitive global sport.
“Sport Ireland specifically targets high-performance programmes, and to see this investment coming through at youth level in an Olympic discipline highlights the quality of Irish coaching and the commitment of our athletes.”
