Plan to establish camogie in Kerry

MINISTER for Arts, Sport and Tourism John O’Donoghue launched an initiative by Cumann Camógaíochta na nGael to start camogie in Kerry this week.

Part of the Association’s Strategic Plan, the “Camogie for the Kingdom - Bring it On” campaign is focusing on establishing camogie in primary schools in north Kerry, traditionally a strong hurling area.

Speaking at the launch in the Brehon Hotel, Killarney, on Wednesday, the Minister said he was delighted with the initiative, while Camogie President Miriam O’Callaghan, said the initiative was part of the Association’s strategic plan, which outlined the organisation’s goals up to 2008. GAA President Sean Kelly also welcomed the initiative and saluted the work of the Camogie Association.
