AILEEN BAILEY
Aileen Bailey is the Human Resources Director at the IRFU
She has responsibility for leading and implementing the IRFU’s employee strategies and support services, a role that has been thrust to the fore since the start of the pandemic managing a workforce that is now a hybrid of working from home and managing the largest professional sports infrastructure in the country.
She has managed a key area of operation through a turbulent two years and is very highly regarded.
She began her career with AIB before moving into sport with the FAI for five years and joined the IRFU in 2014.
Aileen has a Bachelor degree in Business Studies from DCU, specialising in Human Resource Management, and she has completed diplomas in Employment Law and Executive and Personal Coaching.

This is the ninth edition of our Sport for Business listing of 50 Women of Influence in Irish Sport.
We are proud to do so this year with a new partner in AIG, an organisation that have pledged their commitment to equality in their partnerships with Gaelic Games, Tennis, Golf and more, for whom “Effort is Equal” and with whom we have ambitious plans to extend the reach of this annual celebration of the Women who are making a difference.
They are drawn as before from the worlds of leadership, partnership, storytelling and performance.
We began this journey in 2013 when challenged that we would never be able to produce a list of twenty Influential Women in Irish Sport. The 20 stretched to 30, then 40 and 50 and it still does not do justice to the talent that is out there.
This year once more, to keep things fresh we will introduce at least 30 per cent of fresh names from last year. That will be the hardest part to have some names replaced but if it was too easy it would be of less value.
The list we will continue to build over the coming weeks is a snapshot of those women who are making a mark on how sport is played, consumed, grown and delivered.
They are part of making the role of women in sport unexceptional by being exceptional in what they do.
“A powerful and influential network of information and collaboration”
