We have such a structure in place already. There is a women in sport lead within Sport Ireland, as well as a women in sport group that deals with these issues. It is focused on four main areas, namely, leadership and governance; visibility; coaching and officiating; and active participation. Many of the sporting organisations are also appointing directors of women in sport for their own sports as well. There is a structure within Sport Ireland that is specifically focused on driving participation and addressing issues around leadership and governance. My singular focus, whether for clubs or national sporting organisations, is on strengthening the area of women's sport and that is something with which we engage regularly. We have taken decisions on Gaelic players, for example, which was another issue the committee raised.
