KERRY star Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh has opened up on the poor treatment she and her inter-county teammates faced in the early part of her career, saying she hopes things are "easier" for the next generation of female Gaelic footballers.

Speaking on The Kerry Football Podcast, the four-time All-Star underlined the importance of the proposed merger of the GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association so that equality with their male counterparts can be achieved within “a few short years”.
