LGFA Congress votes for integrated future with GAA and Camogie Association

Delegates at the 2022 Annual LGFA Congress on Friday night voted to amend the integration motion to reflect the wording of the GPA motion that was passed by GAA Congress last week and was passed. Overwhelmingly 67 votes to 8.

The GPA couldn't propose a direct motion of its own at this gathering, but had called for support for the Galway motion, which was the central item on the agenda for discussion.

Donegal LGFA back 'historic decision' for integration with GAA

Donegal GAA Chairman Mick McGrath  yesterday, Wednesday, confirmed that they welcome the forward step taken at GAA National Congress last weekend with further integration with the LGFA

The Galway motion proposes amending this rule to include a commitment to "unite with the GAA with the aim of becoming a partnership of equals".

Captains of the 31 ladies football squads represented by the GPA met on a video call earlier this week where it was agreed unanimously that players support the sentiment expressed in the Galway motion.

Last week all female captains - including Donegal's Niamh McLaughlin penned a letter to their county boards and the leadership of LGFA and Camogie Association, seeking confirmation that they would support the GAA in prioritising integration.
