Replying To BadgerDog: "All well and good listing off loads of players but realistically a lot of them aren't actually good enough to play at senior county level. Not going to single lads out and name them but from that list at least 8 or 9 not good enough.
You have to think as well are these lads actually going to be as good as or better than what is currently there and there aren't many from that list that are, maybe 5 or 6." Agreed,
I would say 5/6 max of that group are potentially good enough, some are but have probably missed the boat in terms of S&C etc over the past number of years. And would need to be in the setup for 2 years minimum to get up to the required level.

What Now For Merger Of GAA Camogie And LGFA - 1 Like(s)
Read through all the posts in one go. I agree with Pikeman views as he has expressed them on this thread, though Im gonna say something now deadly seriously though with a degree of mischieviousness that he all posters will abhor.
The bottom line is, at inter-county level, the women want the same financial benefits and other conditions as the men.
There IS a solution. Change the role and function of the Croke Park stadium from its current primary one as the place where major GAA games are played (with profitable rock and pop concerts, rugby and other events taking place as a secondary consideration) into one where the playing pitch is used only 4 times per year for GAA games (i.e. All Ireland football and hurling finals , the camogie final, and the ladies football final.) Outside of that, promote it as a purely commercial revenue-generating venue. Let the Croke Park venue become a fully fledged cash cow......have MORE concerts in it, MORE rugby, MORE American football, and other international events take place there.Let this be the main function of the stadium for 11 months of the year (and market it heavily as such) and just close it off to this activities for the month of July only to place the 4 finals. The extra money earned with finance the women's games and enablecthe GAA to pay the elite female players the same benefits as their male counterparts.
Problem solved.
