Paul Kimmage: Sport Ireland and Rowing Ireland face the Oireachtas music this week - troubled waters run ever deeper
"What will be their tune this Wednesday? You've got to hand it to Sport Ireland - they say what they like, and they like what they say. Take the press release three days before Christmas, 'Sport Ireland welcomes 2025 as most successful year ever for Irish high-performance sport', when they rolled out their big hitters for a collective pat on the back."
"'Sport Ireland welcomes 2025 as most successful year ever for Irish high-performance sport'"
Sport Ireland issued a press release three days before Christmas declaring 2025 the most successful year ever for Irish high-performance sport. The release highlighted achievements and assembled senior figures to offer public congratulations and shared praise. The tone of the announcement was celebratory and self-congratulatory, emphasizing institutional credit for performance outcomes. The timing and language suggest an intent to shape public perception and close the year on a positive note. Questions linger about whether the same upbeat messaging will continue in response to developments expected Wednesday and how the organisation will address any ensuing challenges.
