The Dublin Insurance Athletic Society or D.I.A.S. as it is invariably known was established in 1914 to organise, develop and encourage athletic sport and recreation within the Insurance sector. It is affiliated to the Insurance Institute of Dublin with whom it maintains close links. It currently has a membership of approximately 100 entities, comprising Insurance Companies, Insurance Brokers and associated services such as Loss Adjusters and Motor Assessors. Many of the member organisations employ hundreds of staff and many operate with smaller staffing structures. In all the D.I.A.S. represents the sporting interest of thousands.

The D.I.A.S. is managed by committee that is elected annually. This committee consists of a President, Vice President, Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer, together with representatives from a variety of sporting divisions. The current divisions are:

Badminton
Basketball  updated 07/03/2002

Gents Golf
Hockey

Ladies Golf updated 08/03/20002
Rugby
Soccer updated 14/05/2002
Ten Pin Bowling updated 04/04/2002
Tennis

Each of the sporting divisions has it's own sub-committee which organises competitions either on a team (usually inter-office) or individual basis. There is also a long standing tradition of matches between D.I.A.S. representative teams and other insurance institutes such as Cork, Limerick and Belfast in Ireland and London, Edinburgh and Glasgow in the U.K..

Whilst our website has been updated with our new committee structure and our calendar of events for 2002 some of the section pages have yet to be updated. These will be updated in the coming weeks and will be shown as updated beside the hyper link for the section.
