What Now For Merger Of GAA Camogie And LGFA - 2 Like(s)

Replying To supersub15:  "It would not surprise me if the president of the gaa received a phone call or a visit from a person that mattered to soften the blow and try to get things back on track. With appointments to key positions comes responsibilities and a chance to showcase leadership. We now sadly live with pressure groups daily; we forget that the gaelic athletic association is a sometimes very slow-moving organization that we all have lived with for the past 150 years almost.

Gender based equality conversations that include yesterday's hero's is on a two-way street basis for everyone.

Meanwhile back to the drawing board."
What a bizzare post.

Football might still be up in the air but I hear one of our own sons is to be appointed senior hurling manager soon

After thinking about it again this is my observation.
All that's wrong here is an amateur game is gone so professional in all but name that it can't mind itself not to mind two other organisations.
Harry styles 2 nights in croker in August 27. It'll be bring back the trip to tipp all of this has to be paid for somehow. The whole thing needs to be pared back to its foundations which is supposed to be a game everyone can play for fun. Now you've every sort of dietician/physio and S/C involved with counties getting paid. Triple that and you won't be too long heading for the poor house.
So you can have extra concerts or charge every child €2 a training session, it has to be paid for.
There's enough coaches on social media now that you can use that for diets and training, it's not sustainable at the current rate, wether that's one association or three merged together.

Replying To sligo joe:  "If the volunteers in the GAA feel the association is backtracking on its democratically supported proposal to introduce amalgamation on the basis of integration and equality(changing the goalposts to federation and equity) how would a backlash from those volunteers, especially female volunteers, be seen as demeaning to anyone."
There's a big difference between "backtracking" and needing more time to resolve the many complex issues involved.

And worth noting that the motion actually passed at the Congress of all three Associations in 2022 didn't specifically mention any timeframe. It was the Steering Group itself who set the 2027 target date and who announced that in 2024, despite being advised by other stakeholders that a 2027 target would be somewhat optimistic, to say the least.
