In the third episode of our Sport for Business Leadership series we speak to Federation of Irish Sport CEO Mary O'Connor.
How did a player who won twelve inter-county All-Ireland titles transition into the world of sports administration and how easy did she find it at first to master the detail and the strategy of representing sport in all its forms to the Government and other interested parties?
We talk through the five key points of what sport needs from the Government even as budget concerns bite around the cost of living and energy crises.
