GAA will be led by a woman in the future, predicts incumbent O’Neill

GAA president Liam O’Neill says he can envisage a day when a woman claims the highest position in the association.

Tyrone have broken new ground by appointing Roisin Jordan as their county chair, the first time a female has held the highly symbolic position in the country.

O’Neill appointed Jordan to head up a committee related to the training of club and county officers.He said he realised at the time that her contribution “was going to be recognised by high office” at some point and anticipated her progression.
