The recruitment process for the position of Sport Ireland CEO has commenced. The position was advertised on Friday 29 October with a closing date of 19 November for applications.

The position is advertised on the publicjobs.ie portal. The Public Appointments Service have also provided guidance to Sport Ireland on the recruitment process, and Sport Ireland will ensure that the process adheres to Government Guidelines for Appointments of CEOs of Non-Commercial State Bodies.

Sport Ireland has appointed a recruitment company, Lansdowne Executive Search, to manage all aspects of the recruitment process for the position of CEO. This follows the completion of a competitive procurement process conducted by Sport Ireland.

The Chair of Sport Ireland has submitted a request to my Department for approval of arrangements to cover the period from the retirement of the incumbent CEO until the start date of the new CEO, should there be a time lag between the two events. My officials are considering this request in consultation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
