Separately, Cycling Ireland is also seeking expressions of interest from candidates interested in joining the new high performance management group. That group is one of the developments to emerge from the recent governance controversies and related reviews within Cycling Ireland.
It will “provide support to the high performance director on matters relevant to delivery of the high-performance programme,” according to Cycling Ireland. The group will also “provide insights and expert advice to the Cycling Ireland board of directors” relating to the high-performance strategy.
Expressions of interest are being sought for the following roles:
- Independent Chairperson
- Independent Member: Former elite cyclist (retired in the past 10 years)
- Independent Member: Performance background in a non-cycling Olympic or High-Performance Sport
- Independent Member: Cycling specific high-performance background
- Independent Member: Sports science support practitioner or academic
Interested persons should send a brief cover letter and CV to high performance director Iain Dyer at [email protected]. They should outline their relevant experience and expertise in high-performance sport while an "understanding of the not-for-profit national governing body section is desirable".
Cycling Ireland said the five positions are voluntary and that the group will offer advice rather than acting as a decision-making body.
