Ms Nora Stapleton:

On participation at third level, it is important to note that many national governing bodies outline programmes - and participation programmes in particular - for the third level sector in their Women in Sport funding applications. In sports such as volleyball and basketball, for example, the aim is to facilitate the social aspect of participation in sport at third level. Student Sport Ireland also does much work in this area. It has established a women's student coaching academy. It is a new programme offered this year, and the first of its kind. It examines how female coaches in universities can be supported during their coaching journeys, because the numbers can be low. Those are some of the ongoing programmes in this area.
