Ms Catherine Carty:

To add to that point, I gave the example in Chile. UEFA is very heavily involved in that example as is UNESCO. It is paralympics sport we are working through to deliver the sporting opportunities and they will be across a range of sports in that context. The partnership is broader than that.

On the point about the ethics, there is some guidance established internationally. We do a lot of work with the WHO. Ms Mortell alluded to it, but one can establish broad criteria such as no work with arms and tobacco companies, which would typically be WHO's main standard. Those types of standards can be put in place for anything that operates in Ireland.

I also mentioned the Fit for Life initiative that UNESCO is using to promote this approach internationally. By becoming a part of that initiative, Ireland has the opportunity to garner the expertise from other SOCs that are operational around the world, leverage that expertise and contribute to it. As was mentioned previously, there is a lot of Irish contribution into the development internationally. Learning from others, being a part of a global movement in this area and garnering the expertise are on the table.

There is also linking to initiatives. We mentioned inter-agency collaboration and cross-departmental collaboration. There are projects we are examining at present in terms of their capacity to deliver on this, and perhaps beyond grassroots sport to physical activity opportunities to be active. We are currently developing a project looking at people with enduring mental illness, particularly schizophrenia bipolar condition. We know from some pilot work that was conducted that the readmission rates to hospital for people engaging even in small amounts of physical activity show quite a return on investment for that type of activity. We are looking across the range from getting people active to various different types of sport engagement for this type of thing. By getting on board this initiative and this novel financial instrument, which is taking a hold internationally, we can benefit from that expertise and bring that to hold in Ireland to address some of the challenges we have had over the years in sport.
