Cycling Ireland has announced that all members of its youth commission have resigned, all at the same time.
The national governing body said the resignations had been accepted and occurred due to “policy differences” between the commission members and Cycling Ireland board.
The news was confirmed on Monday in a statement from
Cycling Ireland president Ciaran McKenna.
“The board
of Cycling Ireland confirm today that it has accepted the resignation of all
the members of its Youth Commission,”
the statement said.
“The Youth
Commission, as with all of Cycling Ireland’s commissions, is a sub-committee
which operates under the auspices and governance of the Board of Cycling
Ireland, and their resignations come as a result of policy differences between
the Board and the sub-committee.
“The Board
would like to thank each of the members of the Youth Commission for their work
in developing young talent in the sport and wish each of them well for the
future.
