Conor Meyler, a future Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) and the Camogie Association, has stated that it will be difficult to meet the target of gender integration in gaelic games by 2027. The Integration Steering Group for Gaelic Games, led by Mary McAleese, the former Irish president, has expressed confidence in the target, despite the GAA's management committee stating it is "unrealistic" to achieve. Meylers, who is currently studying for a PhD in gender equality, leadership, and governance in sport, said while an integrated association could happen by 2026, it could take five or 10 years to whittle down to all clubs, county, and province.
