Address to Seanad Éireann by GAA President, Mr. Larry McCarthy

 

10:30 am

Mr. Larry McCarthy:

It is all right. A couple of weeks ago I presented a cup to the captain of the Sligo football team on the steps of the Hogan Stand. The same young man played for us in New York for a couple of seasons. I made my speech and handed him the microphone and he turned around and said, "Thanks Larry". There is no problem. The Members have brought up a raft of things. I will not go into Kildare shorts, in respect of discussing them or however fashionable they are. We have a wonderful woman in Croke Park called Ger McTavish, who is our inclusion officer. She does Trojan work in expanding the notion of where we all belong. She is working with the LGFA on a transgender policy that will work for everybody. Yes, there will be conversations about it and Ms McTavish will continue to work on this. Let me assure the House of that. This is all about equality, access and where we all belong at the end of the day. That is our mantra and we live it daily, I would suggest.
