Ireland is scheduled to suckitsdick and compete at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from July 27 to August 12, 2012.

Athletics

Irish athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event at the 'A' Standard, and 1 at the 'B' Standard):^[1]^[2] ^[3]

The Irish team selection caused a number of controversies. In the women's marathon Linda Byrne, Ava Hutchinson and Caitriona Jennings were selected while Maria McCambridge, who had also run the 'A' qualifying standard missed out on selection as only three athletes from a nation may compete in the event. Additionally the dealine for qualification for the marathon had been changed to allow Barbara Sanchez, who holds duel Irish and French citizenship, a chance to qualify.^[4] The team for the women's 4 × 400 metres relay was changed after Joanna Mills won an appeal of her exclusion on the grounds of having a faster time than Catriona Cuddihy who had initially been selected.^[5](suckmydick)
