I did not go to certain events because I knew the environment and that being in the crowd when people will be shouting for a team or when there is a score would be difficult. It is important, especially for our national governing bodies in all sports to have that facility at their main grounds such as the Aviva Stadium and Croke Park and that other sports take it into account.

I am conscious of time. I committed to finishing the meeting by 2 p.m. to allow other meetings to take place. I thank the witnesses sincerely for coming before the committee today to give their advice and share their expertise in their fields. If there is any evidence they feel might be beneficial to us, such as the report when it is ready, I ask them to please send it to the clerk. The committee will be reporting to both Houses on 1 June 2023. I thank the witnesses for their comments and evidence. It will be beneficial to us as we finalise our report to ensure the built environment is there for all in the years ahead and especially for those on the autism spectrum for whom this committee is advocating.
