Fine Gael Senator for Meath, Linda Nelson Murray, says she feels “let down” by the GAA when it comes to facilities and equality for women in the organisation.
In a social media post, Senator Nelson Murray says the situation raises wider questions about whether the GAA is truly an organisation where men and women can feel equally represented and valued.
She says that, as a mother raising two girls, she wants them to believe they are strong and capable of achieving anything, but questions whether women are being given the same opportunities and facilities within sport.
Her comments come following the GAA’s recent announcement on integration, which she says has left her deeply disappointed.
Senator Linda Nelson Murray joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk more about her concerns and why she believes it’s time for change within the GAA.
