Mayo LGFA has called on the integration of all three Gaelic games organisations to happen quickly as the fallout from the resignation of Mary McAleese continues.
McAleese resigned as the chairperson of the Integration Committee overseeing the amalgamation of the GAA, LGFA and Camogie earlier this month over her feeling that, 'people who are not entirely happy about the idea of including women in decision-making at the top level of Gaelic sports'.
The GAA's director general Tom Ryan rejected accusations on misogyny on RTÉ Radio, pointing out that a failure to reach agreement on "organisational structures" is the main reason behind the delay in the process.
But Mayo LGFA appear to concur with McAleese's sentiment in a statement released this evening in which they say no meeting of their county's Integration Committee took place this year.
This committee involves two people from each association meeting on a monthly basis, alongside an independent chair, with the minutes from the gathering to be sent to Croke Park.
"In Mayo, no such meeting has taken place in 2026, not one," the statement read.
"No minutes have been returned."
The statement goes on to criticise the perceived inertia when it comes to sharing facilities, as well as the lack of reward for the levels of commitment which top inter-county players put into their sport.
"Institutions built around men develop structures that suit men. These structures are now held up as insurmountable practical constraints.
"What does Mayo LGFA own? No pitch, no astro, no clubhouse, no office, no storage container, no shed.
"Our senior county players receive €20 a week towards nutrition during the inter-county season. Their mileage is capped. This year's training camp was one night in Enniscrone. This is what the LGFA can currently provide for them. It is not remotely what they are worth."
With 46 Irish women currently playing professionally in the AFLW, the county board warns that, 'we are all too aware they (AFLW clubs) are coming for more. It is hard to argue that our players are not elite athletes when a professional sport keeps flying around the globe to recruit them."
In a wide ranging statement, Mayo LGFA concluded by asking for everyone involved in Gaelic games around the country to, "ask your county board when its Integration Committee is holding its first meeting, and ask to see the minutes".
"Equality is always impractical until it is inevitable. The GAA can lead this change and take pride in it.
"That means turning its commitment into a timetable people can trust, shared decisions and access that women and girls can rely on."
