Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Inclusion in Sport: Discussion

Ms Aoife Rafferty:

For all of our international teams, particularly our underage teams, we have created a player welfare document. It is really important for the FAI to ensure that all players, whether male or female, have the opportunity to tell someone within the environment, that they all have someone to go to if they need to talk, whether it is about mental health issues, their sexuality or anything that relates to their welfare. Players know who to go to and what supports are available to them. That is really important for us. We have a zero-tolerance approach to any sort of discrimination, on or off the pitch. We are trying to create an environment that makes it safe for them and that is really important for the FAI.
