Commenting on Geaney’s reappointment Motorsport Ireland President Aiden Harper said: “It is a tremendous achievement for Niall to have been reappointed to the CCAP. To have Irish representation on such an important FIA panel is something we should be proud of. Niall’s professionalism and passion for the sport is second to none and I am delighted he will continue to be an integral part of the panel, helping to shape exciting new eras for both Formula One and Formula E.”
