Parsons welcomes decision to bring in former president Mary McAleese to help integration process
“In particular I want to thank LGFA ceo Helen O’Rourke and CA ceo Sinéad McNulty for their work in this regard. I do think it is important to put on the record that the GPA is the official representative body for all intercounty players.
“Following the WGPA Levelling the Field report and various engagements on the topic of equality, the Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers increased funding for female players to €2.4 million from €700,000, an increase of €1.7 million, in 2021. “There is a collective responsibility across the NGBs and players to fast-track progress on delivering improved standards for females in our games. I am delighted that someone of the calibre of former president of Ireland Mary McAleese has been appointed to chair the Gaelic games integration process.”
He also spoke about the commitment given by intercounty players, believing occasionally their efforts are not properly recognised.
