“May I convey my warmest congratulations to Stephen Kenny and his team on winning the League of Ireland.

Their win means that Dundalk FC now joins Cork United, Waterford and Shamrock Rovers on the list of clubs that have won the League three times in a row.

May I congratulate the players, the coaching staff as well as the club’s tireless supporters and volunteers on their success in what has become a remarkable year for Dundalk FC, with outstanding performances and high quality football.

Their success has been an inspiration for many and it is my sincere hope that the example set by Dundalk will inspire many young men and women to participate in sport, and to support the clubs in the League of Ireland.”
