Sport Ireland not keeping up appearances on inclusion

During the week Sport Ireland opened a national indoor sports arena. Or manrena, maybe.

One photograph issued to accompany the opening featured 13 middle-aged men, and others were along the same lines.

It seems extraordinary that a woman couldn’t be unearthed somewhere for the photograph, and even more extraordinary that it didn’t occur to someone that even for appearances’ sake a baker’s dozen of well-filled suits didn’t convey a very inclusive image of sport.
