Dr. Una May:

The deadline for application of the governance code for sporting bodies in Ireland is this month. This is not specifically related to that. The Minister has identified 2023 as the target for the gender quotas, if one wants to put it that way, for the governing bodies. We will continue to push for those gender quotas to be met but I can identify that there are some minor sports that struggle because they have low rates of participation historically. When I use the word "minor", I mean that those sports have minority status not that they are less important. For example, Bol Chumann na hÉireann, the Horseshoe Pitchers' Association and the Irish Tenpin Bowling Association are among the sports organisations that currently do not have the appropriate level of gender balance. We will work closely with those organisations. We know they have challenges in meeting those requirements.
