Triathlon Ireland Confirm Insurance WAS Valid for Ironman Ireland

Following the tragic deaths last weekend, other competitors expressed further concerns that their race insurance might be invalidated by the un-sanctioning of Ironman Ireland by Triathlon Ireland.

Triathlon Ireland has issued a statement to all member clubs with the following paragraph confirming that all was OK.

The personal accident medical policy in force for your members (full members and one day members) was operative during the event last weekend, subject to all the usual terms and conditions of the policy. [D Coombes, CEO, Triathlon Ireland]

The same message from the CEO also confirmed that the counselling service offered by ABATE and funded by Triathlon Ireland has had a “significant engagement from members of our community“.
