“…The COVID-19 pandemic revealed structural and ongoing issues with regard to the manner in which women's sports are facilitated and promoted internationally, including in Ireland. Irish Times journalist Una Mullally ( 1 ) argues that the pandemic acted as an “exposing force” that highlighted the inadequacies of health and other organisational infrastructures, services and supports in an Irish society weakened by years of neoliberal orthodoxy. It exposed shortcomings dating back decades, but that had become particularly exacerbated following the 2008 global financial crisis and the austerity measures that ensued.…”

IntroductionAn analysis of how the pandemic served to highlight neglected weaknesses and inequalities with regard to the structures and supports available to facilitate women's sport in Ireland.MethodsA survey conducted in the summer of 2021 with 194 female athletes across the island of Ireland. These athletes were engaged with the sports of camogie, Ladies Gaelic football, hockey, and rugby, and each responded to a 28-question survey.ResultsOur findings indicate that the experiences of female athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic raise serious questions regarding equality in sport across gender lines. Concerns expressed by the surveyed athletes, especially in relation to access to facilities, inadequate sponsorship, and funding reveal salient aspects of the experiences of Irish female athletes during the pandemic, and its role as an “exposing force” of inequalities within Irish sport.ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland has been a challenging and revealing period with regard to sport in Ireland, acting as an “exposing force” of the existing inequitable structures for both the support and coverage of women's sport. Such challenging periods can also offer opportunities to learn, progress and improve and already in the past year there is evidence of positive developments for women's sport in Ireland, developments that we contend were expedited due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland.

“…In Ireland, the ESRI has published detailed reports on the implications of the pandemic for children [4] as well as highlighting the effects of school closures on widening inequality [5]. The importance of a numerate society in order to deal with issues affecting the health of a nation (such as a major pandemic) was discussed by O'Sullivan, O'Meara, Goos and Conway [29]. Amongst the studies conducted at school level in Ireland are those by Dempsey and Burke on the impact of educational closures on Irish teachers ( [6]) and principals ( [7]) at primary and secondary level.…”

“…The economy and health are important things that are considered more by the government. The government has disbursed considerable funds to address economic and health problems during the COVID-19 crisis (Dolighan & Owen, 2021;O'Sullivan et al, 2021). Other things also need to be considered by the government for the harmony of society.…”

“…One of the many other interesting things is limited community activities, territorial restrictions, restrictions on community, and gracious characters. Thus, people must construct and condition their activities to new activities, as well as interact with different conditions and activities (O'Sullivan et al, 2021).…”
