McAleese Comments 'Regrettable' - GAA President
McAleese said the GAA’s integration commitment had evaporated and accused senior figures of resisting women in top-level decision-making.
- Former President of Ireland Mary McAleese resigned on Tuesday as chairperson of the Gaelic Games Integration Steering Group, following the collapse of plans to merge the GAA, LGFA, and Camogie Association by 2027.
- Seeking to pause the process, the GAA wrote to the steering group on Monday, with Director General Tom Ryan stating the organization is 'just not ready' to meet the ambitious 2027 deadline.
- McAleese accused the GAA management committee of being 'lacking in vision' and stated 'the commitment to integration has evaporated,' further suggesting some members oppose including women in top-level decision-making.

- Ryan emphasized a 'phased implementation' approach rather than a single event, though he could not offer 'a precise timetable' for when the three organizations might eventually complete integration.
