Level of GAA participation misinterpreted in report, says Kilkenny

Irish Sports Council chairman Ossie Kilkenny has today rubbished the interpretation of a recent ESRI report, which sections of the media believed pointed towards a downturn in the participation rates in Gaelic Games.

Kilkenny, who spoke at the launch of the Gala Senior Camogie championship today at Croke Park, underlined that the GAA is still the premier sporting organisation in the country when it comes to the on-field participation of its members.
