Congress is always a special day and there were some important presentations, elections, motion discussions and acknowledgement of the incredible contributions made across our sport at our recent Congress in Tullamore.
One of the day’s highlights included Life Vice Presidents awards being presented to Paddy Marley, Caroline O’Shea, Dermot Nagle and Norah McDermott for their contribution to athletics.
