Professor Michael Molloy:

That is written for lay people. I was part of the original group that set that up. This is an updated version. It is critical that the person makes the decision quickly and that the player comes off the pitch. This is only for professional sport, and that is the majority. There is a need to train people in first aid, and this is where we have a major responsibility. First aid courses are available. The faculty has a special emergency care programme for doctors, physiotherapists and others, which Dr. Padraig Sheeran will speak about shortly, where the participants go through a programme and are then certified. There must be certification. If we take New Zealand as an example, as others did, it has specific requirements. The Government in New Zealand is the insurance company also. Even when it hosted the Rugby World Cup it had to insure that event. The coaches, the referees and the teachers have to be certified in first aid every few years. That is necessary. If any legislation or direction comes forward here, that is on what it should be focused.
