Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Sport in Ireland - Challenges, Strategies and Governance: Sport Ireland and the Federation of Irish Sport

Mr. John Treacy:

It always depends on the sport itself. For athletics it is every four years and it is the pinnacle of our sport. We recently saw golf becoming an Olympic sport, and despite the fact that we had a lot of golfers deciding not to perform, it was really a magnificent tournament in Rio. It was a great success, and it became a really important event. Justin Rose got great satisfaction in winning it. Soccer is generally played at under 23 level, and the World Cup is the premier event.
