Elimination of Abuse Directed Toward Referees, Officials, and Players in Sport: Discussion
Alan Dillon (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
On that, and this is my final point, we receive submissions from various sporting organisations. Some of them have suggested the establishment of a centralised sporting ombudsman, the function of which would be to handle abuse reports across the board. We have heard from various witnesses who have come before us that there is a major issue with the under-reporting of incidents. There is much fear around what they are do to in this instance. What would be Sport Ireland's take on establishing this type of position? Would it support something along those lines being established?
