@JohnCorrigan_ @IrishSESA @CACSSS1 @UCCSchoolofEd @dcu_shhp @DCU @UCC @Irishheart_ie @comyns_tommy @atgrainger Thanks a million, John. Implementing and disseminating this programme across the island has been a brilliant experience (the mistakes made and the lessons learnt have helped shaped Y-PATH PE4Me the most though…).

@wesleyob1 @IrishSESA @CACSSS1 @UCCSchoolofEd @dcu_shhp @DCU @UCC @Irishheart_ie @comyns_tommy @atgrainger It was a really great presentation Wes!
So much amazing research and valuable insights into implementation at scale that I found incredibly helpful even outside the PE space! Well done!

A real pleasure to present at day 1 of this year’s @IrishSESA conference. A huge testament to everyone involved in shaping this recently developed organisation. Sport and Exercise Science is in very capable hands on our island 🙌

@kearney_phil @IrishSESA Thanks for the interest and support Phil - this is a programme rooted in evidence, and translated in to practice. Many learnings (and many mistakes…) along the way. Bottom line, whole school physical literacy programmes can work if all stakeholders are part of the ecosystem!

One of my highlights from Day 1 at @IrishSESA
Retrospective overviews of the development, challenges and future of highly successful programmes are inspiring and thought provoking and a key ingredient in the programme of conferences like this.
Looking forward to Day 2
