On Wednesday 21st October 2026, our Executive Director Daire Dempsey appeared before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport for a session on inclusion in sport. The other organisations invited were Her Sport, Sport Against Racism Ireland, and Sporting Pride.

Each organisation is invited to give an opening address, and then there are rounds of questions from the members of the Committee, and answers from the organisations present. You can read Daire’s opening address here, and our briefing document here.
