Ms Karina Murray:

I echo that. When I was growing up, I did not see many women in sport. I was always watching hurling, soccer and other sports. Since Sport Ireland introduced its model, there have been numerous campaigns and many sports are getting more promotion. I will be going to Australia to watch the women in the World Cup. I know a lot of work has been done by the players themselves in terms of activism. I guarantee that without the work that Sport Ireland has done to promote women in sport we would not be going to our first major tournament. This model needs to be replicated for other communities. I know women are not a minority, but they are a minority in sport. It has been very successful. Why can it not be used for us?
