Elimination of Abuse Towards Referees, Officials and Players in Sport: Discussion
Mr. Gerard Perry:
I echo Deputy Mythen's congratulations to Michelle O'Neill who refereed the cup final last weekend. It is great to have our women referees doing so well. I want to pick up on what the Deputy said about players and coaches being involved. That is really important. The footballers' association of Ireland is fully behind referees in our game and is willing to have some of its members take courses to be good role models in this regard. That is really important. I am sure all the clubs would support the same approach.
