Gaelic Players Association not engaging over player concerns - Camogie Association

The Camogie Association has accused the Gaelic Players Association of failing to engage "in a meaningful way" in the ongoing row over player supports for next season.

Inter-county camogie players and ladies footballers have both been protesting in recent weeks, demanding players' charters for 2024 that set out minimum facilities and expenses for inter-county players.

The GPA announced yesterday that players would not participate in LGFA/Camogie Association-organised media events for the closing stages of the respective All-Ireland championships.

We are steadfast in our commitment to collaborating with them, firmly believing that open and constructive dialogue is
