so disappointing to hear that the GAA wants to delay integration for another five years. that they want 'equity over equality' and Dr Mary Macalees's commented they don't want women making decisions in leadership

Former stalwart of the Cork camogie team Laura Treacy and Waterford camogie's Niamh Rockett explain why there should be a fund for the All-Ireland Finalist's end of season team holiday.
Record attendance 33,419 people at Sunday's camogie finals at Croke Park. Love to see it.
A huge achievement for the Camogie Association. I have a few thoughts how Camogie can continue to grow:

Cost to Croke Park/Dublin and staying overnight is a factor especially if you're targeting young girls and families. Can they partner with @rorysstaycation or another Irish travel company for exclusive Camogie deals?

Target audience - are they targeting a male audience, not just girls and women? Maintain momentum from the men's finals.

Integration in 2027 - cross promoting finals and games on each other's social channels.
2027 needs to be a turning point and the GAA has a huge opportunity to show up for women's sports!

🏑 Shauna Connolly launched the ‘Shorts Not Skorts’ campaign in 2023 in the hopes of bringing Camogie into the 21st century.
This week I spoke to her about the Camogie Association’s recent vote to allow shorts to become part of the sport’s official kit👇
Andddd breatheeee
#BREAKING: Congress vote 98% in favour of allowing camogie teams the choice of wearing either #skorts or #shorts
In a statement released by the Camogie Association, Uachtarán Brian Molloy said:
“We are pleased to announce that delegates have voted by an overwhelming majority in favour of giving players greater choice in their playing attire. From midnight tonight, each individual player will have the option to wear skorts or shorts - adding choice while maintaining the professionalism and uniformity of our team kits in both colour and design.
I want to sincerely thank our incredible volunteers for their ongoing support over the last few weeks, and to our delegates for voting on behalf of over 120,000 members, including 94,000 playing members.
As the All-Ireland Championships begin this weekend, we ask everyone to support their teams, drive higher attendances at all upcoming games, and help us fill Croke Park for the finals on August 10th.”

What happened at the shorts vote, Congress 2024....
#righttochoose
Camogie Association published a clip of my debate on twitter, maybe the social lead was anticipating a win? Nothing followed it though.
