Cycling Ireland chief executive, Matt McKerrow, said the successful candidates will be charged with establishing a high performance function as Irish cycling builds towards the Paris 2024 Olympics and beyond.
“A key aspect beyond preparation for performance in Paris
is the building of systems and structures for high performance within the
organisation for the future,” he said.
“(This includes)
a focus on the development pathway and an increased level of transparency and
alignment among all disciplines and stakeholders within the cycling community. Each role represents an exciting opportunity to play an integral role in determining and assuring the future of Irish cycling”.
