Female player charter on the way
February 23, 2024
"These milestones mark significant steps toward achieving equal recognition"
The GPA has welcomed news that a long-awaited charter for female inter-county players is imminent.
The charter, which sets out minimum welfare standards and guarantees expense payments, will be jointly financed by the LGFA, Camogie Association and GAA, who this week set a three-year deadline for full integration. It comes after inter-county ladies football and camogie players played a large part of last season under protest.
"In the three years since the merger of the GPA and WGPA, significant progress has been made," a GPA note to members yesterday read.
"We’ve witnessed equalisation of government funding, the establishment of our first centrally funded charter by the NGBs and a pathway to integration.
"These milestones mark significant steps toward achieving equal recognition, investment and opportunity for female players."
