Putting sexism within the GAA into the spotlight

The news that Roisin Jordan of Tyrone has become chair of Tyrone GAA was greeted warmly this week as a step forward for the Association, and that appointment wasn’t the only development of its kind in the last few days.

News broke on Saturday that Tracey Kennedy had been elected vice-chair of Cork County Board.

Hopefully these are indications of bright days ahead, and Liam O’Neill’s guess that some day a woman may become President of the GAA doesn’t go the way of Pele’s confident bluster about a team from Africa winning the World Cup.
