Alan Farrell: On my own behalf, I thank Mr. Regan for his presentation. No doubt the GAA provides an extraordinary service to the State and has done for generations. This particular venture for the GAA, in terms of healthy eating promotion, is to be welcomed and appreciated. The GAA is in every corner of every county. It has two clubs in some towns. It is fantastic to see such a big organisation take...

Alan Farrell: One of the other barriers-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Jun 2018)
Alan Farrell: One of the other barriers to participation in sport, which I have unfortunately learned of both as a public representative for the last 14 years and from having witnessed it personally, is competitive behaviour on the touchline, primarily from parents. It can be a bit of an issue. It is a barrier to certain parents returning. In my experience it is especially the case with women bringing...

Alan Farrell: On that, and without being 100% serious about it, I am sure there are historic reasons for the fact that camogie is called something different from hurling and that it exists as a name. In terms of participation, is it really necessary?

Alan Farrell: It was just me. Touching on something Senator Noone raised in regard to sugary drinks on the sidelines, the packet of crisps after the game and the discouragement the GAA puts in place through its guidelines, Mr. Regan mentioned that approximately 50% of clubs are involved with those guidelines. He also said that mandatory mechanisms do not work and that promotion does. Is there a point at...

- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Alan Farrell: I have a question on the process of cases taken by individuals in the State that are contested by the HSE and often settled without an admission of guilt. I am sure the witnesses can understand from the perspective of a patient and the public that this is an horrific experience for the individuals in question. There is not a week that goes by when the courts are sitting that there are...
