The Gaelic Players Association has welcomed the announcement of an increase in funding for female inter-county players.

Under the current model, male players get €1,200, while female players get €400.

It is absolutely crucial that we have parity of esteem & equality of treatment when it comes to funding for inter-county players. I am committed to progressing this in 2021. https://t.co/viAa40T80G
