THE GAELIC PLAYERS Association [GPA] have hailed “another step towards equality within the Gaelic games family” after a motion regarding integration was passed overwhelmingly at Camogie Congress today.
97% voted in favour of Motion 19, after the GAA and LGFA have in recent weeks similarly passed motions committing to one single governing body.
“The motion regarding amalgamation with the GAA and LGFA has been passed overwhelmingly at Camogie Congress,” a tweet from the GPA reads.

89.8% of the vote supported the GPA’s motion at GAA congress, while LGFA Congress saw a resounding passing of 67-8 in favour of a similar motion proposed by Galway.
Camogie Association president Hilda Breslin told the Irish Examiner this week that, should the latest integration motion be successfully passed at the Carrickdale Hotel in Louth today, she would invite the presidents of the GAA and LGFA to sit at the one table and formally begin integration talks.
“We are all going to Congresses and coming up with aspirations, and they are wonderful and it is brilliant that we are talking about this. But the next step must be concrete,” Breslin told Eoghan Cormican.
“To me, the next step is the three presidents sitting down together, and that is what I will be calling for, if we get our mandate, that we sit down and put in place a formal mechanism to start this process.
“It doesn’t matter who puts the invitation out there, but if we get a mandate this weekend, we’ll be putting the invitation to the other two bodies.”
GAA / LGFA / Camogie Integration? @OfficialCamogie President Hilda Breslin :- ‘It is a nonsense that we’re not one Association but we have 120 years of speaking up for women’s sport and we’re not just going to let this happen'.https://t.co/P86UP897Zb
