Celebrating 100 Years of Team Ireland, Olympian Recognition Programme Unveiled
28 February 2024 As part of the Team Ireland celebrations to mark its centenary, the Olympic Federation of Ireland has launched an Olympian Recognition Programme which allows schools, universities, clubs, and communities to celebrate their local Olympians with a Team Ireland plaque that can be erected in their honour.
Team Ireland first competed at the Olympic Games in 1924, in a Games that also took place in Paris, embarking on a rich and colourful history, accumulating 38 medals and numerous stories along the way. 911 Irish people have represented Ireland at the Olympic Games throughout this one-hundred-year period.
Most communities in Ireland have witnessed in some form the dedication, commitment, work and passion that Irish athletes have committed to their Olympic journey, and to celebrate its 100th year, Team Ireland is offering an opportunity for communities to recognise these achievements by erecting a special Irish Olympic plaque in their premises.
