We were delighted to welcome Mario Nava, Director-General of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, to the Sport Ireland Campus to see Sport4Empowerment (S4E) in action

S4E is our ESF+ funded programme that uses sport and physical activity to promote social inclusion

Participants and ESF+ Social Innovation in Sport Officers from four Local Sports Partnerships (Kildare, Offaly, Limerick and Galway) joined the visit. Mario took part in a basketball session at the National Indoor Arena and talked with participants about their experiences and what the programme has meant for them and their communities

Thank you to Mario, to our Local Sports Partnerships and, most of all, to the participants who shared their stories

CELEBRATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF WOMEN IN SPORT LEADERSHIP!

A huge congratulations to the latest cohort of women from our Local Sports Partnerships (LSPs), National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and Sport Ireland who have successfully completed the Women in Leadership Programme ✨

Throughout the programme, participants have developed their leadership skills, built confidence, strengthened communication and influencing skills, and explored the power of mentorship

It is about more than leadership skills it’s about building connections, supporting one another and creating a stronger, more inclusive future for Irish sport 💚

Through collaboration between Sport Ireland’s Women in Sport team and Organisational Development & Change Unit, the programme is helping to empower more women to take on leadership roles and shape the future of sport across Ireland

A special thank you to Jo Hopkins Consulting, Eliza, Esme, LJ and the wider team for their expertise and support throughout the journey

📌 Want to be part of the next cohort? Recruitment for the next phase begins in November! Keep an eye on Sport Ireland’s channels for more details

Here’s to more women leading, inspiring and making a difference in Irish sport ✨

Who makes sport happen? Everyone 🏁

From referees, umpires, judges and technical officials to participants, coaches and volunteers, everyone arrives, prepares and contributes to the sport they love. Officials are not outside sport; they are an essential part of the community that brings it to life

Sport is built by a community of people who all play an important part in making it happen

Every sport. Every person. Every time 💚

Cé a chuireann spórt i bhfeidhm? Gach duine 🏁

Idir réiteoirí, mhaoir cúil, mholtóirí, oifigigh theicniúla, rannpháirtithe, chóitseálaithe agus daoine deonacha, tagann gach duine le chéile chun cur leis an spórt is ansa leo. Ní bhíonn na hoifigigh scartha ón spórt; tá siad ag i gcroílár an phobail a reáchtálann é.

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann pobal an spóirt agus tá ról tábhachtach ag gach duine ann.

Gach spórt. Gach duine. I gcónaí 💚

DISABILITY SPORTS FORUM 💚

Today we brought people from across sport and disability together for our first ever Disability Sports Forum.

It was a chance to share what’s happening, hear from those working across the sector and look at how we can keep making sport more inclusive and accessible for people with disabilities.

We were delighted to welcome Minister of State for Sport and Postal Policy Charlie McConalogue TD, who spoke about the importance of breaking down barriers and making sure everyone has the opportunity to get involved in sport.

Through the Disability in Sport Fund, we’re supporting change across the sporting system, with a focus on:
🔷 Making sport more digitally accessible 🔷 Strengthening grassroots pathways into Paralympic sport 🔷 Improving support and guidance for coaches working with people with disabilities

The goal is simple:
Equal Access Equal Voice Equal Future 💚
