Report of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-11
============================================================

Micheál Carrigy (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

Perfect. That is good to know. I thank the Minister of State for that.
It is important we have this discussion. I welcome the Minister of State's coming here and making sure that this report is not left on the shelf. It needs to be implemented. As I said, I ask that the Department contacts Coimisiún na Meán and makes sure that that engagement and conversation with the sporting organisations with regard to online abuse begins and that we make sure that every sporting organisation implements this within its code of conduct. Ahead of the new programme coming out, I would fully support those who do not adhere to that or do not implement that code of conduct not being eligible for sports capital funds.
