About this episode

The episode discusses the controversy surrounding the integration of camogie and ladies football into the GAA following Dr Mary McAleese's resignation from the Steering Committee.

The plan to integrate camogie and ladies football into the GAA appears to have derailed with the resignation of former President Dr Mary McAleese from the Steering Committee. Dr McAleese didn't hold back in her criticism of the leadership of the association. Jarlath Burns, President of the GAA rejected accusations of misogyny and said the organisation was committed to integration.  Sinead O'Carroll, Editor of The Journal joins Paul to explain what is going on and why this row is a major setback for women and girls playing on teams.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
