Over the last twenty-five years, Ireland has changed. Our voices got louder. Our culture reached further, and some extraordinary people helped shape it all. From trailblazers in the arts and social change, to leaders in sport, music and on the big screen, we’re counting down the most influential Irish people of the last 25 years. You, the listener, have been voting for who you think are the most influential people that moved us and inspired us as part of Newstalk's 25 of 25. And you have picked your winner for best sportsperson!

Joining Ciara to discuss the results is Kieran Cunningham, Sports Journalist, Cameron Hill from Off The Ball and Lisa Fallon UEFA Pro Licence Football Coach, currently working with FIFA in their Global Football Development Division.
