We recognise that our membership is growing, with athletes taking their first steps onto the pathway to International representation. Weightlifting Ireland is dedicated to supporting our athletes on this pathway and providing education to support them through the process. It is highlighted that Anti-Doping does not just concern competitions (National or International) but should be a day to day consideration for all.
