Olympic Council of Ireland
The Olympic Council of Ireland or OCI ((アイルランド語:Comhairle Oilimpeach na hÉireann)) (called the Irish Olympic Council until 1952〔) is the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of the Republic of Ireland. Its mission statement is "To manage and enhance the performance of Team Ireland at Olympic Games whilst developing the Olympic Movement in Ireland."
==History==
(詳細はIrish War of Independence was pitting the Irish Republic proclaimed by Sinn Féin against the Dublin Castle administration of the United Kingdom. John J. Keane, who was the head of the athletics committee of the Gaelic Athletic Association, met Sinn Féin leaders Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins in Vaughan's Hotel, Parnell Square, in April to discuss the possibility of a separate Irish team at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp.〔MacCarthy 2010, pp.296–303〕 The founding Council members were mostly Irish republican or nationalist political leaders.〔 Keane wrote to Pierre de Coubertin, who was sympathetic, but the Belgian organising committee deferred to the British Olympic Association (BOA), which took the unionist view that Irish competitors should be part of the British team.〔 By August, Keane was proposing that a separate Irish delegation should march under the Union Jack, on the model of Finland at the 1912 Summer Olympics when part of the Russian Empire.〔〔 The International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to "suspend all decision until the moment when the Irish question would be solved politically".〔〔 Keane applied again in April 1922, during the provisional administration that was preparing for the formal establishment of the Irish Free State that December.〔MacCarthy 2010, pp.305–314〕 De Coubertin was worried that the Tailteann Games were intended to rival the Olympics, and the BOA's delegate was unsure of the political outlook in the buildup to the Irish Civil War.〔 Keane allayed these worries such that the Irish Olympic Council was affiliated to the IOC on 3 June 1922.〔Ireland and Olympism, p.432〕〔
Most sports affiliated to the Council are all-island in scope. Two exceptions in 1922 were athletics and cycling, each of which had rival bodies; the prospect of Olympic competition precipitated their merging into a unified National Athletic and Cycling Association (NACA), which affiliated to the Council in 1924.〔MacCarthy 2010, pp.314–9〕 The Council has sent a team to all but one of the Summer Olympic Games since 1924. The 1936 Games were boycotted; this was the first Games after the IAAF's 1934 ruling on borders which restricted the NACA's jurisdiction to the Free State. In 1952, the Council changed its own name from "Irish Olympic Council" to "Olympic Council of Ireland" to reinforce its claim to represent the whole island of Ireland rather than merely the Republic. Its team competed as "Eire" in 1948 and "Republic of Ireland" in 1952 before reverting to its preferred name "Ireland" in 1956 after Lord Killanin secured the agreement of Avery Brundage.〔 The OCI and BOA have an agreement that Northern Irish sportspeople may compete for either team.〔(HL Deb 21 October 2004 vol 665 c99WA ) Hansard〕
The OCI has sent teams to most Winter Olympic Games since 1992.
