Ladies football gets seal of approval from Taoiseach

TAOISEACH BERTIE AHERN lauded the progress and development of ladies football when he launched the 2004 Suzuki NFL in Croke Park yesterday.

Mr Ahern, a keen supporter of ladies football, reminded the attendance that the code had found it difficult in the past to gain recognition for its promotional efforts.

“That has changed massively over the last number of seasons and I think it has changed for the better, thanks to its profile, the support of TG4 and the media in general.
