A ‘joined-up’ approach from the Government and Sport Ireland will be crucial to the promotion and growth of inclusion in sport, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

The committee on tourism, culture, arts, sport and media heard from representatives from marginalised groups on the topic, including Sporting Pride, Sport Against Racism Ireland (Sari), Trust Ireland, and the Disabled Person’s Organisation (DPO) Network.
