Amharc ar fhreagraMy role as Minister of State for sport involves occasional direct engagement with NGBs and I met with Rowing Ireland on 16 July 2025 to discuss its intention to bid to host the 2027 World Coastal Rowing Championships.
I am aware of the recent issues relating to Rowing Ireland, including the organisation’s recent appearance before the Joint Oireachtas committee.
Minister O'Donovan and I are currently considering draft terms of reference for an independent review of the process, procedures and timelines relating to those issues. It is intended to progress this in the coming weeks.
