I thank Deputy Mythen. We have a recommendation in the sport action plan. I am trying to find it here so I can give it to him. It is very much focused on insurance and it is working with the Federation of Irish Sport. I know that Mary O’Connor was before the committee. It is also working with Sport Ireland. We engage with the sports sector and then present that information. There is an insurance working group within the Government that is chaired by the Tánaiste and the Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, that has specific responsibility for insurance reform. In the sport action plan we have tried to reflect some of the local concerns the Deputy has outlined and to ensure that they are central ideas or issues that need to be addressed in a sporting context.

There is an action plan on insurance reform as well. We can submit the specific action. The sport action plan is a long document but it references the issues around insurance relating to sport and we can send that on to the Deputy.
