Replying To Viking66: "I think it would be more important to get attendances at Camogie and Ladies Football games up to around the level there is at men's games , and therefore revenue from gates and sponsorship, up first if you are talking about achieving true parity and financial sustainability?" And the ladies game will need upfront investment to be able to do that, how else would you propose two organisations with c€10mil in the bank account (per the last annual reports) to be able to grow the game without significant investment? In comparison, the GAA has nearly €80mil cash at their disposal to deploy and a collection of cash generating assets. The ladies organisations have very modest resources at their disposal. The upfront investment will have to come from somewhere, be it the GAA, Government or other sources.

A couple of "cat amongst the pigeons" thoughts. If they make it past the mods ;)
First, a statement like how camogie players "want equal recognition, equal opportunity, proper investment".
If the assertion is that this can't happen without integration, is that not a stinging criticism of the Camogie Association? i.e. that they're incapable of looking after their own players themselves, that there's no point campaigning from within, and it'll take a different Association altogether to improve things?
Second, suggestions that women who currently volunteer their time to the GAA should withdraw their services until this is all sorted.
Is this not demeaning towards those women? Suggesting that they volunteer only on a basis of "what's in it for the sisterhood?". And not that they volunteer out of a genuine interest and desire to keep things running as well as possible at all levels, same as all the male volunteers in the GAA do?
