Amalgamation will benefit everyone, says Kelly

SEAN KELLY is adamant that the integration of the GAA with ladies football and camogie, at club level, will be beneficial to all three associations.

He was speaking at the publication of the Integration Task Force Report, set up in 2002 to develop closer links between the associations.

A pilot scheme subsequently launched revealed that, while the three bodies should remain autonomous, they should unite at club level while developing closer relationships at county, provincial and national levels.
