Mr. Ger McDermott:

There is always scope for more work. I mentioned some of the initiatives but we have really tried in this regard, given the increase in attendances at League of Ireland games and the increased profile League of Ireland clubs are developing in their community, through the community officers and inclusion officers that clubs must now have in place. We have targeted League of Ireland clubs for now because we feel that will give us a very broad reach. We have over 1,100 clubs in the grassroots space. The Senator raises an interesting point because what we are trying to work really hard to do is make those clubs as inclusive and open and friendly as possible. It is a lot of clubs and there are a lot of people to educate and bring along with us.

The question of tournaments and specific competitions is an interesting one and I think we could engage with some of those groups in this space more to understand a bit more about what we can do. As I said, with 1,100-plus clubs, there are a lot of people to bring along and educate. Maybe there are other initiatives that we could take part in.

On initiatives like Pride and some of our clubs, the Senator mentioned Bohemians. Shelbourne FC has also been very proactive previously with Dublin Devils, which the Senator will be aware of. They are doing great work. In terms of visibility at any events like that, it is a straight "Yes" from us. We would be happy to be involved.
