I thank the witnesses for their very enlightening presentation. I am conscious they are addressing an all-male committee today, apart from the Cathaoirleach. Deputy O'Sullivan touched on the point I was going to talk about. The witnesses said that 80% of respondents would not talk to their coach about their cycle or their period. Do they have any detail around the gender of the coaches in that respect? Are most of the coaches male, so there may be a fear the coaches would be insensitive or unaccommodating to the constraints facing young girls and women?
