Gaelic Games Integration: The GAA, Camogie and Ladies Football Associations have announced 2027 as the date for full integration for the three organisations. The Steering Group, chaired by former Uachtarán na hÉireann Mary McAleese, will be presenting proposals for the full integration at the Annual Congresses of the three bodies in the coming weeks. Kildysart was the first club in Clare to adopt the Club Model in 2013 when Ladies Football was incorporated into the club and now they are joined by Eire Óg, Wolfetones, Kimihil, and 3 other Clare clubs. The Steering Committee notes that integration at Croke Park, Provincial, and County level will bring benefits such as Joint Fixtures Group, Facilities Equal Access, one National Children’s Office, updated One Club Guidance, One Membership, and One Injury benefit fund.
