Katie McCabe has hailed the courage of those that came forward in the RTÉ Investigates/Sunday Independent’s story containing allegations of abuse on female players by male coaches in the late 1990s.

Since the probe began, the FAI have introduced a confidential hotline for players to report any mistreatment and McCabe confirmed she has been in touch with the PFAI’s general secretary Stephen McGuinness in an effort to reach out to those affected.
