LGFA chief responds to dressing room furore

Ladies Gaelic Football Association chief executive Helen O’Rourke has described the furore surrounding Saturday’s Tesco Division 4 League final between Limerick and Offaly, when both teams were denied access to the Parnell Park dressing rooms, as a “storm in a teacup.”

O’Rourke also revealed her “disappointment” that a member of the Limerick team had made contact with the Women’s Gaelic Players Association (WGPA) about match arrangements at the Donnycarney venue.

O’Rourke confirmed both teams were informed in advance that the dressing rooms were off-limits to the Division 4 finalists, as Tyrone and Tipperary were also present at Parnell Park for the EirGrid All-Ireland U21 decider.
