This week marked the close of an extraordinary era as Seán Campbell retired as CEO of Foróige after 40 years of service to the organisation. Across four decades, Seán has played a central role in shaping Foróige into what it is today – an organisation that reaches into every corner of Ireland, impacting countless thousands of young people and families.

From his earliest days working directly with clubs, through to his time leading the organisation, Seán’s commitment has been unwavering. He helped steer Foróige through times of change and growth, strengthening programmes, supporting volunteers, and keeping the needs of young people at the heart of every decision. His vision and dedication leave a legacy that will continue to shape lives long into the future.

As Seán steps into retirement, we extend our deepest thanks and appreciation for his leadership, his integrity, and his tireless belief in young people. Eric O’Brien, formerly Area Manager in Cork, now takes up the role of CEO, bringing his own energy and perspective to guide the organisation forward.
