Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Concussion in Sport: Discussion

12:10 pm

Ms Karen O'Boyle:

The question of who should roll this out was asked. It is a cross-departmental issue. As Dr. Byrne stated, it must start in schools, so it is an issue for the Department of Education and Skills, but it is also an issue for the Departments of Health, and Children and Youth Affairs. I have been working on this campaign for four years, so we have a great deal of material and do not need to reinvent the wheel. With combined expertise, supporting bodies and Departments, we can be successful.
