The grant for Athletics Ireland athletes was well down this year at €184,000. In 2017, the total was €236k while it was €220k in 2016. A large part of this drop is due to the semi-retirement of Rob Heffernan and the loss of his €40,000 per annum grant.
As well as Rob losing his grant, Ciara Everard also loses her €12,000 grant and the men's relay team lose theirs. The other changes are Mark English dropping €4k to €16,000 and Brian Gregan getting a grant of €16,000.

Agree with Barr getting full grant as he is our only real world class athlete,maybe Phil Healy should have got something as she is definetly future of female athletics in this country, ( along with Sarah Healy),not sure McCormack and Magean should have got world class funding though.Pity we don't have really top quality male or female distance runners any more, like we did in 80s and early 90s.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with giving grants to Phil Healy or Sarah Healy is that the same grants would have to be given to the equivalent athletes in all of the other sports as well.
ReplyDeleteCiara Mageean is one of the best middle distance runners in Europe and when it all comes together, she is certainly a contender for more medals at a European level.
