We have produced world champions in handball in my great town of Mallow and have invested heavily, through sports capital funding, in retrofitting our club. I would always put my hand up for having handball. The GAA, from a global perspective, should consider that sport. It is developing slowly but it could develop quickly if it was given a global platform. I would welcome if handball could be translated into the work Mr. Regan is doing and be considered in some of these initiatives, particularly with respect to catching, throwing, forward movement and so on.
