    To my knowledge for a marshall (bike or standing) you need a cycling license to be covered by insurance, it was enforced recently especially in league races.

    Best bet would be to ask your local club or ring cycling ireland, or even pop up to the next cycling event and ask the CI or race officals.

    As long as you sign on as a marshall then CI's insurance covers you. By signing on you become a de facto member of CI for the duration of the evnt.
