Outgoing Cork County Board chairperson Tracey Kennedy has said the “GAA, as an association, leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to gender balance”.

Kennedy’s three-year term as the first female chairperson of Cork GAA concluded yesterday evening, her final address to delegates expressing regret that the county board executive will not contain a single female officer in 2021.
