Integration of LGFA and Camogie Association with the GAA: Discussion

Mr. Brian Molloy:

The Deputy asked about double headers and that. It is always great when you have something in your back pocket to come back with if it comes up, because something that maybe gives an insight or a little bit of a vision of what integration might look like in future will happen on Sunday when we have the two Very-sponsored camogie league finals, the 2A and the 1A, being played in advance of Dublin playing Meath in a football Leinster quarter final in Croke Park. It will be a unique moment, a unique event, on Sunday. Those types of cross-code events are really important for numerous reasons, but one of them is giving visibility of the various games to supporters of one code or another who do not necessarily go to see what a game is like. We are certainly encouraging the Dublin and Meath football fans to come in early and have a look at what a camogie final is and see just how high the standard is in camogie finals. Equally, because it has to be both ways, we are telling the supporters of the camogie teams coming in to watch those finals to stay on and watch Dublin play Meath in the Leinster finals-----
