The Irish Canoe Union, known as Canoeing Ireland since 2012,[3] is the governing body for paddlesports (canoeing and kayaking) in the Republic of Ireland.[4] It has been affiliated with the Olympic Federation of Ireland since 1964.[5] It is a member of the International Canoe Federation.[6]

Athletes have represented the union at the Summer Olympics in 1972[7] for kayaking,[8] and 1992 for Canadian canoeing.[9] Canoeing in Northern Ireland is regulated by the Canoe Association of Northern Ireland, a part of British Canoeing, but Northern Irish athletes may freely choose to represent Ireland at International level.[10]

The union is funded through membership fees, sponsorship and government grants through Sport Ireland. The organisation is led by a president, and chief executive officer.[11] [12]

Controversy

Michael Scanlon was suspended as chief executive officer in 2011, and the decision was the subject of a High Court battle.[18] [19] Another former CEO and Sporting Director, Karl Dunne,[20] also took a High Court case.[21]
