Squash Ireland CEO Scott Graham has described Tuesday’s meeting with Charlie McConalogue, the Minister of State with Special Responsibility for Sport and Postal Policy, as very productive.
The visit by Graham and Rosie Barry, the Squash Ireland president, provided the opportunity for the sports federation to provide an overview of its progressive work to date and its ambitions for the future.
Donegal TD McConalogue has been in his role at the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport since January 2025.
“I’d like to thank the Minister for meeting with us for almost an hour at the Department of Sport,” said Graham. “It was great for him and his officials to give us their time given their busy schedule.
“A big part of our meeting was updating the Minister about the rapid progress and development within Squash Ireland over the last two years.
“We had a wide-ranging discussion about everything from grassroots participation to high performance and a discussion on the support we are looking for with our national centre plans.
“The varied discussion also included participation initiatives, club activities, our junior performance academy and the high-performance programme.”
Squash Ireland’s meeting with the Minister and his team of officials took place on Tuesday, 12 days before the 2025 AGM which will be held on June 22 at the Sport Ireland Campus in Blanchardstown.
