Camogie Association chairman Brian Molloy has insisted the sport will retain its sovereignty after integration with the GAA and Ladies Gaelic Football Association.

At the launch earlier this year for the integration pathway towards a 2027 date, it was explained the GAA will become the overarching body with one president and one director general for the three codes. It is envisaged there will be one rulebook while county boards will be combined to represent the triumvirate.
