Aoife Lane: ’I love the GAA and there’s a bit of a feminist in me’

YOU might remember her from the winter. When the camogie and ladies footballers launched their players union, Aoife Lane was to the front: founder, leader, chairperson.

She had a word on the Last Word with Matt, made the papers and news bulletins as everyone who went along to the hip Smock Alley Theatre that day left there feeling better about not just women’s sport but themselves.

Sisters were doing it for themselves but they were going to get a little help from more friends. They deserved such support, more coverage, greater recognition.
