Integration of LGFA and Camogie Association with the GAA: Discussion

Ms Aisling Groarke:

I am a dual player and my brother is also a dual player. I am really lucky that I am a member of Cuala GAA. I have not necessarily felt that inequality in terms of facilities because of the one player policy. As for load, however, there definitely is a difference. I train six days per week and have matches on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am expected to play two full games, whereas my brother trains four days per week and has one match every fortnight. There definitely is a bigger workload on females. With the one club policy coming in, it would make a huge difference to have that equality at fixture level as well.
