Ms Sarah Carney:

To echo those points, when we talk about inclusion in sport, there are specific needs of specific groups. Overall, inclusion can be addressed by a change in culture. While there is specific work to do in the space, a culture of inclusion as a starting point is vitally important. I echo a few points that Ms Browne made on human rights. It is important to take this human rights-based approach and to consider the public sector duty regarding sports. When sporting bodies are in receipt of public funds, they have a duty to protect and promote human rights. Sport is recognised in the UN treaties that Ireland has ratified as a human right. It takes this beyond just being something that we could do or that would be nice to do. It is a human rights issue and should be considered as such.
