The Minister of State has detailed programmes in regard to gender participation in sport and disability. Is there anything similar to specifically address trans participation in sport, given this is such an acute issue? I have worked with the trans community and advocacy groups within that. The trans community would describe themselves as micro-marginalised. They are a small community in Ireland. They do not have the resources to essentially fight all the different fronts they need to ensure participation in society. Where is it in the Department's priorities to ensure people in the trans community can participate beyond the official guidelines-----
