I really appreciate that. I understand the approach has to be more systemic instead of these pockets of improvements.

I will move on to Ms Moustafa. Much of her opening statement focused on the issue of racism. We were lucky to have Mia Galligan and Mya Doocey from Navan in earlier. They addressed the very interesting and important topic of the dropout rates of women, in particular, because of menstruation. The figures in their results are staggering. On people who are experiencing racism in sport, are we noticing a significant dropout rate and people opting not to continue with sports because of experiencing racism?
