Players can’t do much more so it’s down to decision makers to look at how we distribute revenue and allocate funding...based on popularity or equal support for equal work and, seeing women as an investment rather than a cost...

Well done Camogie on a great day...players outstanding but they deserve a more free flowing game to let them show the skill and athleticism they have in spades.

Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers has committed to equal funding for male and female inter-county players.
When asked on RTÉ Radio 1 when will the current imbalance end, he said "this year".
Funding for female inter-county players will treble from €700k to €2.4m.
There’s good things happening across counties that could contribute to a really nice comprehensive One County model for male and female players…incl this joint finals day from Meath 🙌🏻
Meath GAA and LGFA are delighted to announce a monumental day for our County Senior Football Finals
The Meath LGFA Kepak SFC Final will be part of a double-header with the Meath GAA Fairyhouse Steel SFC Final in Páirc Tailteann on Sunday, 7th November 2021.
