The option to choose should be available but I'm curious why this is becoming an issue now? Surely this was always an issue?

Replying To PoolSturgeon: "That's bad enough, but then to have the Labour Party wanting to have the issue brought before a Dail committee is just utter codology. Do we not have any real problems in the country that the so-called opposition consider worthwhile tackling?" When Labour realise that this is not a GAA issue but rather a Camogie Association one, they will quietly withdraw their plan.

Replying To oneoff: "While I agree I don't really see the difference between wearing Shorts or Skorts. But can male players now argue that they should be able to wear tracksuit pants if they find it more comfortable in football or hurling?" Sure look how many goalkeepers wear tracksuit tops or training jerseys with no numbers, there's never an issue with that

It's always been an issue.We used to have to wear actual skirts with shorts underneath and that was 35 years ago.The players themselves want them gone for years but Congress keep voting it through which begs the questions what are delegates doing voting against their membership.Shorts cost less and more easily available.Its a no brainer

Odd reaction to all of this....we are always told how the GAA is a grassroots, members organization, and it reflects the members values, and those of all its constituent parts
But then its said that its not the fault of the GAA that camogie players are not allowed to wear what they want its some other group
This looks terrible for the GAA writ large, it looks terrible for the GAA bureaucracy, the executives, the members, the Congress, the clubs
And the GAA for all they blather on about rules and regulations have always found a way in the past to bend those rules when it suits them
And does it really matter why its an issue now - its been an issue in the past, and clearly players are not happy, and feel the need to drive change. Much as the GAA would love to kick this can down the road (again) and hid behind their rulebook, I dont think they have that luxury
Otherwise they could be looking at a players strike
GAA need to bring in a temporary rule giving players a choice in what to wear, say its temporary, and say it will be voted on the next Congress for ratification

This is a rule voted in by women that have stuck with this tradition.
Nothing wrong with tradition. Wimbledon make players wear all white and I'm pretty sure the ladies were skirts or skorts, not shorts.
People complain but Wimbledon hold their ground as they are preserving something important.
Its not our fight lads.
LONG LIVE THE SKORT!

BTW, the GAA has nothing to do with this, the Camogie Association is a completely different organisation.

The labour party refer to it as Political Incorrectness, others refer to it as the tail wagging the dog.

It's a Camogie Association issue, brought about solely and wholly by people in the Camogie Association.

Unless you're just doing it for a bit of divilment of course.
