HORSE Sport Ireland has announced the appointment of three industry professionals to join its board of directors. They are Dr Siobhan McAuliffe, Sue Foley and Allison Mercer. However, there was no appointment made to the High Performance Sport Advisory Forum.

The Irish Field understands the Army Equitation School, Show jumping Ireland, Dressage Ireland and Para Equestrian Ireland did not provide nominees and therefore the High Performance forum has no quorum and cannot meet to elect a chair and select its candidate for consideration by the nomination panel. The RDS did not provide nominations to the forums they sit on.
