Paul Byrne is the Head of Athletics at Dublin City University having moved over from a position as Regional Development Officer at Athletics Ireland in October 2019.
Byrne represented Ireland at Senior and underage level during a distinguished career on the track, specialising at 400 metres hurdles.
The Laois native is the third-fastest Irishman to have raced in that discipline and has transitioned well from competing at the highest level into his coaching and development roles.
He was a Sky Sports athlete mentor during the run of that initiative between 2016 and 2017 and also worked with Intersport Elverys in the past.
Byrne studied at DCU in Environmental Science and earned a Masters Degree in Sports Performance from the University of Limerick in 2018.
