@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…).

@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!
