Inclusion in Sport: Discussion
Mr. Aidan Walsh:
Encouraging that move on women in sport in Sport Ireland also applies at board level. Sport in Ireland has traditionally been run by middle-aged straight white men. The more diversity we can get at board and decision-making level, with more people in the group of different backgrounds making decisions, the more of a knock-on effect it will have at local and community level. Encouraging more women to get involved at board level, national governing body level and local sports partnership level is important too.
