Private enterprise
Visionary Events Limited and Shane McGrath own, fund the early development of, and run TAGG. Private capital carries the commercial risk and moves fast.
Public-private partnershipdevelopment
Built by Ireland. Owned with ambition.
TAGG is designed as a public-private partnership: private enterprise owns and drives the Games, while Ireland's public, sporting, cultural and diaspora institutions are invited to help make them a national and global event.
Ancient Spirit. Modern Champions.
Public bodies
Tourism, sport, culture, enterprise and local government bodies are invited to help with what only they can do: national promotion, sporting standards, heritage, infrastructure and regional growth.
Sport & culture
National governing bodies, the GAA family, arts and Irish-language organisations bring rules, safety, credibility and authenticity.
The diaspora
Irish communities and foundations worldwide carry the Games to 70 million people of Irish descent — and bring them home to compete and watch.
