Jordan ‘opens the door’ for women in GAA

The GAA’s first female county chairman hopes her appointment will empower more women to take on leadership roles in the Association.

Roisin Jordan’s (pictured) election to the top post in Tyrone this week opened a door into what had been a male-dominated domain throughout the GAA’s 130-year existence.

And on her first day as leader of the county board, the mother of four urged other women to step forward and maximise their talents.
