Leinster CEO Mick Dawson to step down
Leinster Rugby and the IRFU can confirm that Leinster Rugby CEO, Mick Dawson, will step down from his position at the end of the current season.
Dawson has been at the helm since November 2001 and has overseen a period of unprecedented success on and off the field.
Commenting on his decision, Dawson said, “It’s been a difficult decision but after 20-plus years I think the time is right.
“I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, and I’d like to thank all the great people I’ve worked with over the years. Volunteers, administrators, staff, coaches and players.
“None of what Leinster Rugby has achieved would have been possible without the support, counsel and friendship of a huge coterie of highly talented and committed people.
“Over the years I’ve always enjoyed a great working relationship with the IRFU, our sponsors and supporters, a big thank you to one and all.
“Finally, thanks to my family for your encouragement and support over the last 20 years.
“I’m optimistic that Leinster can continue to grow and thrive both on and off the pitch in the coming years and I’ll enjoy watching and supporting from the side lines.”
