Ms O'Connor referred to on coaching, an issue that Dr. May also touched on. We had a report from the FAI a few weeks ago, launched by Packie Bonner, which referred to the importance of football across different aspects of society. One of the things mentioned, which was startling, was that in Louth, the game had in the past not even existed due to a lack of coaches. That changed over the past decade or so and there has been a considerable increase in participation. Have our guests found that to be prevalent across the country in their analysis? Is there a problem in providing both male and female coaches to ensure that games, across codes, develop?
