Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 October 2025
58. Deputy Peter 'Chap' Cleere asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport the actions his Department is taking to support the integration of the GAA, Camogie Association and Ladies Gaelic Football Association; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52513/25]
View answerI am very supportive of the process of integration which reflects much of what is already happening at club level and would further ensure parity of treatment for all players within the Gaelic Games family.
I understand that good progress is being made on the integration process under the leadership of Mary McAleese and the Steering Group on Integration. I hope that full integration will be achieved by the stated target of 2027 and that it will deliver a unified Gaelic Games organisation that all feel welcome in.
Ultimately, however, the organisations are independent and autonomous and the issue of integration is fundamentally one for the organisations themselves and their members.
