Mr. Walsh mentioned about male sport in particular. I cannot figure out what is happening in men's sport in comparison with women's sport. There is no openly gay man playing in the premier division in the League of Ireland. There may be one openly gay man in the first division. The contrast is stark when we look at women's football.

It was mentioned in the research from the GPA that, in 2022, it was encouraging that 99% of elite Gaelic players would accept a team mate coming out. We have to question the research because the facts seem to be very different and contradict the research.

To come back to my kids, I always think young people are much more progressive, but then we saw what happened to the young gay man in Navan. That assault was carried out by young men. What can we do to change what is happening in male sport to ensure the attitude is history?
