Tom Parsons has promised that the GPA will be “relentless” in its quest to achieve equality between the sexes in Gaelic games and insisted that meaningful integration between the three governing bodies could be achievable in 12 to 18 months.

The players’ representative body is looking to kickstart the process with its motion at this weekend’s Annual Congress which calls for the GAA, the Ladies Gaelic Football Association and the Camogie Association to “prioritise” integration.
