Announcing the team, Olympic Federation of Ireland Chef de Mission for the EYOF, Gavin Noble said;

“The EYOF is the only major multisport event for the best young athletes in Europe and it marks an important step for Team Ireland athletes on our Olympic pathway. This is an exciting young group and I know that they will all learn a lot. The event is also very important to our Paris 2024 preparations as we experience, learn and debrief together as a staff team. I am very happy too with our coaching group and I know that this event will also serve them well as they continue to help develop our young talents in unison with club coaches all around Ireland.”

Athletics Ireland CEO, Hamish Adams, congratulated those selected as they finalise their preparations in advance of representing Team Ireland in Slovakia later this month, he said: “We congratulate all of our athletes who have been selected to represent Ireland at the upcoming EYOF in Slovakia. It is a huge honour to represent your country at this prestigious event and we thank the families, coaches, clubs, and volunteers who have supported these athletes in achieving selection for these championships
