Let us know what’s on your mind
Change feels different when you can see the road ahead. We take you inside the GAA, LGFA, and Camogie integration push with Mary McAleese’s framing of unity as both heritage and strategy, and we map the concrete steps that move this from concept to calendar: a clear mandate from 2022, provincial roadshows for real feedback, and defined milestones through 2027 when the unified association will come to life.
We break down what structural unity actually means on the ground. You’ll hear how the One Club model informs county and provincial governance, why a single membership and unified injury fund can unlock transparency, and how subcommittees for competitions, youth, culture, coaching, and county teams provide the grip for daily delivery.
We also get candid about transition bumps—aligning presidential roles, updating player protocols, and translating equal versus equitable funding into policies that feel fair to clubs of every size, from intercounty powerhouses to community teams training under rented floodlights.
The practical detail matters as much as the vision. We outline the July target for final structures and codes of practice, the August motions, the October special congresses, and the first combined Congress in 2028.
