Very poor form out of PJ and the Limerick County Board. What harm would it have done to let the ladies play their match. It’s win at all costs down there I suppose.

This is shaping up to be a cracker.
That was a cracking Cork goal and their jerseys are lovely.
Wow, does the author not know that the LGFA and Camoige are separated organisations to the GAA and they don’t own the facilities they are using?

Yeah those same facilities whose upkeep and maintenance the LGFA and Camogie Association diligently fundraise for
Women buy tickets too mate
Yes they love a bandwagon alright
She also argued for higher numbers be allowed at funerals and that having sport on TV is bad for your health. For a lecturer in psychology and on the research council, it seems actual research on her subject commentary is lacking

You’re not involved in GAA Club if you think that.
Hard to see how someone like her gets column inches.
I was being facetious.
The camogie club where I am contribute very little towards the upkeep of the pitch, paying for lighting and heating of dressing rooms and none got involved in the development committee when the local pitch was upgraded. I find it hard to have any sympathy for their ‘plight’. They are freeloading on the back of the GAA up and down the country.

Being controversial and writing shite seems to be the main driver these days. Clicks and comments being favoured instead of good pieces.
They are our sisters, our wives, our daughters. You see the LGFA and Camogie because you have no one within them. That’ll change in time. The only way to fix them in the long run will be to bring them in. There will be pain, but it’s the only way forward.
Sex specific sport is inherently wrong. There’s no reason men and women should not both be playing on same team.
Meath had a few aul women playing in the men’s Leinster Football final this year. Trail blazers so they are.

The Dublin ladies side tried that a few years ago.
Most but not all Dublin Clubs have the camogie and Ladies Football fully integrated. In my club facilities are shared equally between all four codes and rightfully so. As you say full integration is the only sensible solution. However ill informed commentary like this lady in The Irish Times is unhelpful. The fiasco of the Cork v Galway Ladies Football AISF was entirely of the Ladies Association own making yet the GAA somehow wound up shipping the blame.
On a slightly different issue the Camogie and LGFA juvenile fixture makers in Dublin are a disgrace. Regularly fixing camogie and football on the same day. Like a pair of spoilt children.
