Ms Jacqui Browne:

I thank the Deputy for his question and kind remarks. The result of the funding is that we have seen pockets of good change and good practice. The problem with all these things is they are not mainstream enough and are not across the board. One thing that concerns us very much is there tends to be a lot of special projects, for example, by having a group of disabled people for basketball one night or sailing at the weekend. That is not mainstream inclusion. The Deputy used the example of Sailability. I am very familiar with Sailability and have been involved with it myself. I sailed around the world. I know John Twomey and have been at the parasailing championships a few times, with Dr. Austin O'Carroll and others. As it happens, that is one of my personal interests.

In any event, we are seeing pockets of good practice. The problem is it is not systemic. We need a systemic approach. We are still not seeing enough inclusion of neurodivergent people. We have loads of gay and lesbian members, along with disabled people. Like every single group who has spoken, we have intersectional identities within our membership. That needs to be appreciated. We have made an approach but we have not gone far enough.
