Inclusion in Sport: Discussion

Dr. Una May:

-----individual national governing bodies. We provide them with the supports to ensure these sorts of issues do not arise, and by continuing to provide with ongoing support and guidance in the area.

In addition, in the same way as Gymnastics Ireland has done, we have invited members of the African community. We have also invited Sport Against Racism Ireland to provide us with any further insights or actions we can take. We were disappointed that this issue arose and that Gymnastics Ireland's processes were not strong, but it is part of our ongoing process to ensure governing bodies have the capacity to deliver on all the areas of inclusion. Part of that is having strong governance in place. That is something we have been working on with the governing bodies for many years.
