We see how failure to meet the gender quotas on boards will lead to funding cuts, but Mr. Ó Conaire also mentioned violence and race. The committee produced a report last year. Mary O’Connor worked very hard on it in respect of one proposal that she put forward, which was included in our report, relating to the penalisation of clubs in terms of access to State funding if guidelines surrounding violence towards match officials by supports or players were consistently breached. I have pressed this with the Department before in respect of the marking system for sports capital grants. Will that be taken on board by the Department?
