Sport Ireland CEO Dr Úna May said: “I’m enormously proud of our team at Sport Ireland, it’s a great credit to them that we’ve been recognised as a Great Place to Work for the third year in a row.
“In 2024, while the organisation grew and welcomed a lot of new team members, there were increased demands and significant change. Throughout this the team has consistently risen to the challenges with resilience and determination.
“This achievement reflects the culture we have built together — one that supports and inspires everyone to give their best.
“I’d like to thank everyone for their hard work, adaptability, and dedication. I’m very proud to lead such a strong team, and I’m looking forward to all that we’ll accomplish together in 2025.
