At times this will be subject to the overarching rules applied by the individual Governing Bodies of the sport.</p><p> </p><p>Sporting matters are devolved, and eligibility and selection for international competition remain matters for the relevant sports authorities. However, sporting organisations have an important role to play in contributing to inclusion in Northern Ireland and across the United Kingdom.
