Matt McKerrow, who has been chief executive of Cycling Ireland for just over three years, is now set to leave the organisation. Cycling Ireland confirmed his planned departure in a brief statement today.
McKerrow had been under pressure after a number of controversies at the national governing body. This included the use of false quotation documents by Cycling Ireland - though not by McKerrow - to apply for Department of Sports grants in 2020 and the fall-out from the failed proposal to enter into a strategic relationship with the Irish Continental team EvoPro Racing.
He also came under sustained questioning at the recent Cycling Ireland annual general meeting in Monaghan Town about his leadership of the organisation.
