Leaves a great legacy with the merger with the LGPA and the split season.
It was class when he was on the GPA national executive committee and they were looking for a CEO to replace Dermot Earley. The recruitment company Flynn then worked for was charged with overseeing the process to appoint a new CEO and their recommendation after a thorough and objective process was…Paul Flynn. All the very best of luck to him in his future endeavours.

Gentlemen have a way of doing business.
Is it coming out then?
About time
Wonder what’s her view on equality in her own game. Presume she feels Dublin and Monaghan footballers are treated equally.

What’s the endgame here?
The endgame is that your GAA club membership subscription will probably go up to cover the expenses incurred by haphazardly run Camogie and LGFA clubs.

Merger. Should have been done years ago.

Merge what?
Dublin and Monaghan.
A quick way to resolve this is for female adult players both at club and county withdraw their services.
Both the camogie and ladies football are terribly run organisations. If you are a dual club player in Dublin be it at senior club or a division 10 or 11 hacker you will have split weeks, one week hurling and one week football, no real overlap and the games in both codes more a less at the same time every week and the ability to play both without any great impediment.
While if you are a woman and want to play both camogie and ladies football at adult level you will invariably have a match in one code on a Wednesday evening and a game in the other code the following evening for the majority of the season.
It should have been but it wasn’t the GAA that prevented it.

What do you mean here?
It’d work one way a lot better than another.
That’s my understanding of it. The ladies didn’t want to join, for whatever reason (may have been perfectly good at the time), despite this, the gaa facilitated them with pitch access of sorts etc, but now seems to be being blamed, or am I reading this wrong ?

Down tool and stop playing. With no players and games there is no trough. Public opinion will side with the players especially when the associations scheduling and administration are put under any kind of scrutiny.
They’d be better off going in and taking over their own Clubs and associations and bringing some good governance to them. The GAA are right to steer clear of the absolute shithouse that is ladies sports governing bodies. They need to be gutted and made put their houses in order before any ‘merger’ can be countenanced.
Merger is some fucking bolloxology btw, it should be an annexation if anything.
It was the LGFA that would not join up back about 10 years ago. Nothing has changed in their hierarchy.
