Time to ‘stop knocking’ female sports stars, says Cork keeper Aoife Murray

Six-time All-Ireland winning Cork camogie goalkeeper Aoife Murray has expressed frustration at how female sports, and its participants, are treated in Ireland.

Speaking at a discussion forum on women, sport and leadership at UCC, Murray said attitudes towards those playing camogie and ladies football must change, especially amongst female fans.

“We need to step up and stop knocking the woman who is succeeding and instead follow the path that she has laid. We need to congratulate her and promote her.”
