### Individual events at the 2023 European Games

As a participant in the Team event, each nation, including Ireland, automatically enters one athlete in each of the individual 'events'. Medals are awarded at the conclusion of the First Division program. The 'Match position' table notes where the athlete finished in their division, the 'Overall ranking' where they finished across three divisions; the individual European Games medals will be decided by the overall ranking.
