Joanna Mills may defect to the Great Britain squad in protest at her exclusion from the Irish athletics team for the Olympics.

Joanna Mills has questioned Athletics Ireland's plans for the sport in Ireland after it was confirmed that she had lost her place in the Irish Women's 4 x 400m relay team for the Olympics.

Caitriona Cuddihy has said she should never have been de-selected by the Athletics Ireland Appeal Panel (AIAP).

Derval O’Rourke’s participation in next month’s London Olympics is in doubt after she pulled out of yesterday’s defence of her 100m hurdles title at the Woodies DIY national championships in Morton Stadium.
