“The Children’s Officer or the Welfare Officer in the club should be looking at that in that particular case.'
A child not getting any match time is a “child welfare issue” and should be reported to the Children’s Officer, Minister for Sport Thomas Byrne has said.heard from one mother whose child was ready to give up on hurling because he was not allowed to play in matches.and suggested that all players below a certain age all should be given equal game time.“I don’t want my child to get better treatment, I want every child to be treated equally because they’re children.
“However… I think at age 14, everyone should get game time and, as I understand it, in County Meath GAA, that is a County Board rule.”Every GAA team has a Children’s Officer who is tasked with “maintaining the safeguarding of children and young people” and Minister Byrne said a lack of game time should be reported to them.
