Ms Aisling Groarke:

Role models are incredibly important. It is really important that secondary schools focus and I think physical education should be 100% non-optional. It should be a mandatory thing. It is important to get parents engaged in their children as well. Especially with young girls, their three most influential parties are parents, friends and role models. It is about giving girls someone to look up to. I know this was discussed in the previous session. Perhaps a pathway for girls could be created. There should be more of an emphasis on continuing and showing that there is a way to continue.
