Elimination of Abuse Towards Referees, Officials and Players in Sport: Discussion
Mr. Donal Smyth:
The Deputy asked about a survey being carried out by Dr. Noel Brick. Ulster University was carrying out a survey on mental health with respect to referee abuse. It asked us to get involved and we gave it people's emails so they could be contacted about the survey. That research has been ongoing for a few years. Dr. Brick is doing a research paper for the Ulster University. I presume it will be published in due course. It might be no harm for the committee to contact Dr. Brick to find out the stage the research it at.
