Social Outcome Contracts in Irish Sport: Discussion
Mr. Liam McGroarty:
Absolutely, and especially to get women back into sport again. Girls drop off a little later than boys do. Boys drop off earlier but they come back quicker, whereas girls and women do not get a chance to come back because of the way our clubs are structured. We do not put on programmes for them and - Ms Carty spoke on this better than me - they are not kind of welcomed in the way they should be as well. The gender gap has to be addressed.
