Concussion in Sport: Discussion
12:10 pm
Mr. Michael Darragh MacAuley:
A Senator asked whether I had completed the SCAT3 test. I did not when I got concussed with three minutes to go while playing in a county final with my club. The celebrations started, but I did not know where I was. The problem is that the situation at club level is not the same as at county level. Lads on our team who have been concussed this year underwent the SCAT3 test and were taken out of games. It is a question of rolling the tests out from club to younger levels and ensuring that everyone can access the same facilities.
