Replying To redhanddefender:  "You are missing the point, Garvaghey is a business. It was subject to millions in payments back from the HMRC and needs to run on a full business basis. LGFA are an outside organisation. They have to be charged the same as any other outside user or all prices would have to be lowered.

Its not an equality issue. Integration is glaringly obviously needed but why do they not want it?"

Replying To redhanddefender:  "Boo hoo hoo slagging of my county ground! Wise up yous would be lucky to have it!

How often do you be up in garvaghey? Typical irish attitude always try and knock an achievement! ?Garvaghey will keep producing and yous can keep acting like our feeder club for coaches and managers"

Replying To Wally:  "I think you are missing the point and your augment is very thin indeed.

Are you saying that all LGFA players are also GAA club members and therefore pay their club membership and in turn pay a percentage to the upkeep of the club facilities and pitch? This then entitles them to the use of the same said facilities free of charge??

If that is the case then hundreds and thousands of club members throughout the country are entitled to use their clubs GAA facilities for whatever purposes they see fit, even though these activities have nothing to do with the GAA.

So for example, I am a fully paid member of my club. Therefore I am entitled to book the pitch and play golf on it.

No of course I am not!

The fact is that the LGFA is not part of the GAA. The facilities at Garvaghey are there for use by GAA members to train and play GAA games. If you have an organisation that will not merge with the GAA but still expect to use their facilities free of charge then you are mad. Just because some of these people who are part of this organisation are also part of a GAA club somewhere does not create a loophole around this."

Replying To arock:  "I think it is you that is missing the point, there are very few LGFA only clubs in the entire country - Foxrock Cabinteely being probably the biggest. The fact is all LGFA players are GAA members by virtue of GAA club membership end of no argument. They are an affliated organisation and share national and local sponsorships with the GAA, AIG in Dublin and Liberty Insurance re: GAA Hurling and Camogie Association of Ireland, they also share Referees and Garda vetting databases. You can be sure and certain when the GAA was looking for grants/loans etc etc the woman would have been used in the hard sell to get this funding. The fact they are NOT under the full control of the GAA seems to be the reason for charging them more."

Replying To PaudieSull1:  "That's not true arock .......the LGFA is a separate organisation and are very resistant to integration, they want their 'independence' but then expect the GAA to pick up the tab for things and give our facilities free of charge, sorry it doesn't work like that........they don't want to be part of the GAA then that's fine but then don't moan when they don't get the same treatment as actual GAA members

Camoige is far more integrated into the GAA and are happy to play their part in clubs up and down the country.....ladies football seem intent at both club and county level of driving their own agenda but expecting perferiental treatment from GAA, a lot of people in the GAA getting increasingly p@ssed off with their arrogance"
