Chaired by journalist Sinéad O’Carroll, the panel explored the theme “Ireland and Wales – Global Ambitions and Sports Diplomacy.” It was interesting to hear the various insights from a high level group of speakers, including Noel Mooney, CEO of the Football Association of Wales; Tommy Bowe, former Ireland international and Ospreys, Ulster and Ireland player; Linda Hoey, Ryder Cup 2027 Programme Manager and formerly of World Rugby; and Dr. Helen Williams, Chair of Wales Netball and lecturer at Swansea University.

Held in the stunning Iveagh House, the discussion highlighted the unique role sport plays as a powerful tool of diplomacy. It was inspiring to hear the ministers and guest speakers emphasise how sport enables nations to showcase their values, strengthen cultural identity, and build meaningful international relationships.

Both Ireland’s International Sports Diplomacy Strategy and Wales’ International Strategy recognise the power of sport to enhance a nation’s global profile, strengthen commercial and cultural ties, and deepen connections with diaspora communities around the world.

Ireland will play host to three major international sporting events from 2027-2030 in golf, soccer and cricket. Underpinning the Government’s confidence and commitment to the recently launched International Sports Diplomacy Strategy – Raising the bar on Ireland’s global ambition.

Sport is at the heart of Ireland’s culture, communities, and national identity. As discussions begin ahead of Budget 2027, the Federation of Irish Sport continues to advocate for investment in a sector that delivers social, economic and health benefits across every corner of the country.

Last night, hosted by Senator Ní Chuilinn, we were proud to welcome Olympians Daniel Wiffen and Gráinne Walsh, alongside Paralympian Colin Judge, to Leinster House. Their achievements on the world stage showcase the power of Irish sport to unite, inspire and create national pride.

The event highlighted the importance of supporting our high-performance athletes while also recognising the volunteers, coaches, administrators and grassroots participants who are the foundation of sport in Ireland.

Thank you to all the Ministers, Deputies and Senators who joined us and reaffirmed their support for Irish sport. Together, we can ensure sport continues to enrich lives, strengthen communities and inspire future generations.

Olympic Champion Daniel Wiffen also received a warm welcome during a visit to the viewing gallery from the Ceann Comhairle.

Moments like these are a reminder of the unique power of sport to bring people together. The achievements of our athletes on the international stage inspire pride across the country, lift our spirits, and create a shared sense of joy that resonates far beyond the field of play.

Ireland celebrates its sporting heroes because their success belongs to all of us.

For Irish National Governing Bodies (NGBs), sporting charities, and representative associations with a 31 December year-end, the first financial statements impacted will be those for the year ending 31 December 2026. Organisations should begin reviewing contracts, membership arrangements, and sponsorship agreements now to understand where changes may be required and to avoid unexpected adjustments during the audit process.

Key Changes

• Revised Section 23 of FRS 102 applies to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
• The new rules focus on when services are delivered rather than when cash is received.
• Membership subscriptions, affiliation fees and sponsorship agreements are likely to require the greatest attention.
• Many organisations may see increased deferred income balances at year-end.
• Early contract reviews during 2026 can reduce audit issues and unexpected accounting adjustments.

Why Does This Matter?

Many sports organisations receive income from a variety of sources, including:

• Membership subscriptions
• Club affiliation fees
• Competition entry fees
• Sponsorship agreements
• Commercial partnerships
• Coach education programmes
• Event income
• Broadcasting rights
• Licensing arrangements

 The award winners of the Federation of Irish Sport Industry Awards for 2026 have been announced with full attendance at the College Green Banking Hall. The annual awards provided a national platform where sport, diplomacy, and business converged — showcasing how Ireland can turn global sporting connections into real economic growth.

Special guest speakers on the night included a keynote address from Minister for Sport and Postal Policy, Minister Charlie McConalogue TD and a fireside chat with Minister for International Development and Diaspora, Minister Neale Richmond TD on “Sport as Ireland’s Global Soft Power”.

A highlight of the evening was a presentation spotlighting previous New Sports Business of the Year Award winners Field of Vision Co-Founder David Deneher. Field Of Vision enriches this experience by merging ADC with tactile technology. Their devices track on-field action and translate it into touch-based feedback, providing a more immersive, all-encompassing experience of the sport.

There were 13 award categories in total recognising commercial partnerships, use of communications, innovation, collaboration, inclusivity, and sustainability.  The highly coveted FIS member awards for Local Sports Partnership of the Year and National Governing Body of the Year went to Meath Local Sports Partnership and Golf Ireland respectively. See below for the full list of winners.

There was much anticipation on the night as the recipient of the prestigious individual honour for Outstanding Achievement & Contribution to Irish Sport was awarded to Helen O’Rourke, for her extraordinary service to Ladies Gaelic Football and to Irish sport over more than three decades. As LGFA President and, for 28 years, Chief Executive Officer, she led the Association through a transformative era of growth, professionalism and national recognition. Under her leadership, membership flourished, landmark partnerships were secured, attendances reached record levels, and the Association successfully navigated unprecedented challenges, including the Covid-19 pandemic.

The KPMG Women in Sport Award recognised Moira Aston who has demonstrated transformational leadership through strategic governance, inclusion, and international influence in paddle sports. Since becoming CEO of Canoeing Ireland in 2018, she has led major modernisation efforts, delivering stronger governance, gender-balanced leadership, and award-winning initiatives.

The Jimmy Magee (ASJI) Sports Coverage of the Year Award was presented to Greg Allen, who joined the RTE radio sports department in 1984, has since become one of the most recognisable and trusted voices in Irish sports broadcasting, from covering multiple World and European Championships, and Olympic Games to reporting on all our Irish Major golfing triumphs.

Mary O’Connor, CEO of the Federation of Irish Sport addressed attendees saying: “The Federation is delighted to host the 9^th annual Irish Sport Industry Awards, recognising and rewarding excellence in the business of sport and entrepreneurship and the immeasurable work being done by our National Governing Bodies in Sport and the National Network of Local Sports Partnerships.

Ireland is a nation where sport and physical activity are deeply woven into our national identity. Today, the Irish sports industry stands as a powerful economic engine, a global innovation hub, and a vital cornerstone of our social fabric. We gather tonight to formally recognise this immense impact and to map out our future through targeted innovation, public-private investment, and unprecedented global connection.

Sport a high-return investment in Ireland’s health, economic prosperity, and global diplomatic reputation. By seamlessly merging record government backing with robust corporate sponsorship, and anchoring traditional sporting passion to cutting-edge technology, we guarantee a healthier, more competitive future for all. Together, let us continue to champion, fund, and elevate Irish sport at every level, both here at home and across the globe.”

Speaking at the awards Minister McConalogue said; “I would like to extend my congratulations to the Federation of Irish Sport for the hosting of these awards for what is the 9th time, and to also acknowledge and applaud all of those shortlisted. Government understands the significance of sport in Irish life and we are committed to supporting the sporting ecosystem so more people can participate, reap the benefits of sport, and fulfil their potential – from grassroots right up to high performance level.

 For Ireland, sport is a powerful point of connection in the community and is a vital cog in the economy where sport and sport-related activities support over 64,000 full-time equivalent jobs, over 2.8% of the overall level of employment in Ireland, stimulates over €3.3 billion in household spending and is worth in excess of €3.7bn (GVA). Furthermore, sport and physical activity are also good for people’s mental and physical health, and it is a valued tool for building communities and relationships, fostering integration and growth.

The Irish Sport Industry Awards are an important means of showcasing and celebrating the consistent excellence on display in the sports industry in the country. They are a recognition of the close collaborative relationship between sport and business. Looking across all of the finalists for these awards it is easy to see the incredible range of talent and expertise at play, and it gives an insight into the quality of programmes currently on offer throughout the country, and the drive to improve and innovate.”

Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport, Patrick O’Donovan, and Minister of State with responsibility for Sport and Postal Policy, Charlie McConalogue, today announced €28.5m annual investment in the High Performance programme for 2026 that will be distributed through Sport Ireland.

This record investment will continue to support high performance athletes and the National Sports Policy’s aim of increasing Ireland’s target medal haul.

Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport Patrick O’Donovan said: “Last year was a record-breaking one for Irish athletes, with a total of 127 major medals won. These results were achieved across a great number of sports and backed up by significant Government investment. Once again, we are happy to support Irish athletes by investing more funds than ever before.

“This year is a pivotal mid-way point in the LA Cycle and the delivery of the High Performance Strategy 2021-2032. Irish athletes are continuing to win medals on the world stage, and I am confident that this continued financial support will lead to further achievement at the highest levels.”

The 2026 investment of €28.5m in high performance sport is an increase on the €27m invested in 2025, and the highest-ever annual investment in high performance sport. Over €55m will be invested by the mid-way point of the Olympic/Paralympic cycle.

Minister of State with special responsibility for Sport & Postal Policy Charlie McConalogue said: “Public investment in High Performance Sport gives our athletes the best possible chance of performing strongly at the highest level, which is why we are investing €28.5m through Sport Ireland over 2026.

 “The significant increase in High Performance Sport funding over many years demonstrates the government’s continued commitment, in collaboration with Sport Ireland, to support our athletes as they continue to strive for success.” 

Funding to athletes in 2026 has increased by €600,000 from last year. In 2026, Sport Ireland will invest €4.75m in the International Carding scheme and Player Funding Scheme. This funding allocation will cover all elements of the Scheme, including 139 individually funded athletes, nine pool funding and relay allocations, the Athlete Career Transition Programme, Player Funding Scheme, and reserves.

Sport Ireland will reintroduce two-year Carding awards in 2027 and 2028, which means 2026 will be a key year for athletes to achieve criteria and secure this multi-annual funding award.

Sport Ireland CEO Dr Úna May said: “I’d like to thank the Government for their generous backing of the High Performance system. This year is a pivotal mid-way point in the LA Cycle and the delivery of the High Performance Strategy 2021-2032. Strong foundations have already been laid down and now the high performance system is entering a critical moment to build on this progress.

 “As the High Performance Strategy enters its sixth year of implementation, Sport Ireland is going to deepen our commitment to the National Governing Body model, this is crucial in ensuring athletes are guided by sport-specific expertise with a clear focus on global success.”

Sport Ireland continues to evolve and develop its High Performance strategy. The Strategy is based on the philosophy that athletes and the people who support them are at the heart of everything.  In 2025 former international high-jumper and Olympian Deirdre Ryan was appointed as chairperson of the Sport Ireland High Performance Committee. This committee is fully committed to overseeing the implementation of this strategy and continually reviews its progress.

Investment in the Sport Ireland Institute and Campus has strengthened the support available to Irish athletes and enhanced Ireland’s capacity to prepare, perform, and compete at the highest level. The Campus continues to develop as the home of high performance sport in Ireland, and we are actively exploring opportunities to host major international events.

Deirdre Ryan, Chairperson of the Sport Ireland High Performance Committee, said: “At Sport Ireland we would like to thank the government for their investment in high performance sport. This backing will allow us to accelerate system improvements across coaching, innovation, and pathway development. The 2026 investment reflects this commitment, with €2.5m planned to be spent in these areas.

 “Sport Ireland is working with colleagues across the high performance system to support the additional costs that the LA Olympic Games will bring. We’re committed to protecting and enabling performance whilst maintaining cost efficiencies.”

Both Team Ireland (Olympic Federation of Ireland) and the Irish Paralympic Team (Paralympics Ireland) are key partners and delivery agents for Sport Ireland.
