At last year's annual congress, the GAA expressed its hope that Gaelic football, hurling and camogie would one day become Olympic sports. It's time for Gaelic Games to get its house in order and restore fairness to Ladies Football.

And true leadership is having the courage & resolve to tell those who would sacrifice women's right to fair and safe sport in order to validate males, 'No. This is not fair; we must find a better way.' #FairPlayForFemaleGaels

GaelsForFairPlay Ladies Football Yes, Ladies Football can no longer ignore the physical evidence and also the actions of si many major international sporting bodies moving to protect women's sports. Time to listen to science and women not trans activists pushing for unfair rules.

On the forthcoming IOC policy and 'grass roots' sport. I expect that the IOC policy will *not* say 'fairness is important at elite level, but at grass roots we must be inclusive'. But *neither* will it say 'woman and girls deserve fairness at all levels of sport' Rather, it

"It is time for Irish sporting bodies like the LGFA to revise their policies in line with international best practice and do the right thing for women and girls. What are they waiting for?”  Well said, Sorcha Nic Lochlainn of The Countess 👏 👏 👏 derrynow.com/news/local-new…

Bravo Sharron Davies MBE and Tracy Edwards. What a great initiative that will support women and girls at all levels of sport. 👏 💪

Brilliant to see Sharron Davies MBE and Tracy Edwards are to hold non-compliant governing bodies to account. Women and girls deserve fairness, safety and dignity in sport. Follow Women's Sports Union 💪

Great interview with Sorcha Nic Lochlainn on the irrationally of Ladies Football persisting with a policy of male inclusion while the rest of the sporting world is taking steps to protect female sport. As she points out, it's time for Gaelic Games to 'get its ship in order'.
