Sport Ireland has announced an additional €4m investment in high-performance as it zeroes in on success at next year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, and longer-term structures and supports to deliver medals further down the line.

The add-on brings to €24m the level of financial support committed to the elite sector in 2023 and it continues the trend of growing investment in an area where the total pot amounted to just €14m just five years ago.
