Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank all of the Deputies for their questions and constructive input. I agree with what Deputy Farrell said. All of the local sports partnerships are interlinked with the local authorities. We can play a role in aligning the sports infrastructure with community facilities in line with what the Deputy mentioned has been done by Dublin City Council. We will work with all Deputies on this issue. What people saw on their screens with regard to Christian Eriksen has alerted the minds of everyone to it. We also need general screening. Deputy Ó Murchú mentioned cardiomyopathy. It is a condition unknown in so many people until something happens, which then results in families getting screened. Any event or incident that brings about public attention should cause us to provide a proper response, be that through the provision of information working with the local sports partnerships, the local authorities and the community sector. My door is open to everyone so that we can save lives. This is an important issue to raise.
