Members of Cavan County Council have agreed to write to the Minister of Sport; the Camogie Association and the LGFA to ask them to support their county teams, and provide the minimum basic standards of care and welfare for female players from 2024 onwards.
The move came on foot of a notice of motion on the matter by Cllr Aiden Fitzpatrick who told the Wider View that the time has come for everyone in society to make a stand in support of the disparity being shown by the GAA to its female football and camogie players.

Meanwhile, Cllr Shane P O'Reilly said the problem is one that has been created by the national organisation and until such time as it decides to "move with the times" nothing will change for female players in this country.
