Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Participation of People with Disabilities in Political, Cultural, Community and Public Life: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Niamh Daffy:
I do not have an exact figure of the percentage of organisations. The charter is not just about clubs. We hope the charter is something that could be translated across many organisations that provide active and healthy lifestyles for all society. This would then transcend to opportunities for people with disabilities. The majority of organisations that have signed the charter are clubs, local sports partnerships and national governing bodies. Other organisations have also signed up to the charter, such as educational institutions. We continuously push the charter as core to our work. We will continue to do so as we roll out the programmes alongside Sport Ireland with the local sports partnerships and the national governing bodies. I will ask Mr. Doherty to comment because he works closely with the club structures.
