Integration Of Associations

What are your thoughts on integration of GAA, Camogie and LGFA.
My questions:
Why haven't the Camogie and LGFA amalgamated? Apparently not allowed to ask this as it is a deflection!
How can the GAA be accused of Misogyny, when 9 of the 19 Management Committee are women? Why haven't we heard from the female members this week?
Why don't women attend Camogie and LGFA matches in the same numbers?
When it comes to funding; both codes (hurling and football) don't get equal support in most counties. Do you think the Mayo Hurlers have same access to funding as their footballers?
I fully support integration, but these questions need to be answered. At club level, my own are in the 'One Club' model. All codes have equal access to pitches, facilities, equipment, funding etc. It works very well. We have 1 executive committee, represented by men and women. This has to be the starting point to kick off full integration.
What are everyone else's thoughts on this? Is your club 'one club'? Do you routinely see unfairness?

Integration should not be that difficult. What is causing the issue is a lack of transparency from all sides in the negotiation.

I think we can all agree that the proposal for the GAA to double its expenditure next year to achieve spending parity across the codes is ridiculous. Many of the female players who have commented on the issue seem to agree that such a measure is unnecessary and does not align with what they are actually looking for.

These players however are not involved in the top level discussions and we have heard very little from those who are.

So my questions are

Why did Jarlath say this was a reason to delay integration? If that not what they are asking for?
If that is what the LGFA & Camogie association are asking for why are they misrepresenting the wishes of the players?

If we could answer those questions we would have a fair idea which side the stonewallers sit.
