And pat hickey etc get how much? Paltry money to our athletes.
Rob Heffernan should consider himself lucky.
If you add the total for athletics and swimming its less about 70k less than the Paralympic equivalent. Am I missing something there??
I assume michael o reillys €40k will not now be paid!!
Rob Heffernan proved in Rio when he finished 6th that he is still one of the best race walkers in the world. He has every right to be on the top grant.
?? Robert Heffernan probably does consider himself lucky but if working as hard as he does he certainly deserves any luck he gets
Team GB leave us standing.
Ciara Mageean worth more? Is COL retired or not?
Not a lot as other poster says.
The amount Ciara Mageean would have got will probably be based on pre-2016 performances.
Disgraceful, why would young Irish athlete to aspire to take up athletics full time - if our finest are not even on a liveable income? Surely if athletes achieve an A standard or potential to be world class they deserve to confortable purse so they can try to achieve their goals, otherwise Ireland/the sports counsel will get what we paid for..
