‘It’s a journey to be embraced, not feared’ – Steering Group remains committed to Integration by 2027

The goal of 2027 has been criticised as too ambitious in places. It is envisaged there will be one president for the new GAA organisation (on a rotational basis) and one Congress.

The Steering Group on Integration (SGI) have released a statement ahead of Congresses to spell out the strides made towards integration by 2027.

In 2024, the SGI announced the 2027 targeted date for the integration of the GAA, the Camogie Association and Ladies Gaelic Football Association. The group is chaired by Dr. Mary McAleese. They has engaged with the government, cross-association working groups, conducted a detailed facilities audit, carried out a research project of the One Club Model and an organisational design project with the object of delivering one staffing structure.
