Shortly after it was proposed that Ireland apply to enter in1984.However following a meeting on 16 May 1980 it was rejected due to opposition from theUlster Branch.Ireland have entered Olympic qualifying tournaments since1992.[16]After narrowly missing out on qualification in both2008[17]and2012,[18]Irelandqualified for the 2016 Summer Olympicsafter finishing fifth in the2014–15 Men's FIH Hockey World League Semifinals.[19]Australia's 3–2 victory overNew Zealandin the2015 Oceania Cupconfirmed Ireland's qualification.[20][21]
