Dublin and All-Ireland champions Meath opened their 2023 league campaign at St Clare’s, DCU

So, the optics of the current All-Ireland and league champions running out to play the reigning Leinster champions at a completely uncovered pitch, with no elevated viewing banks, on the opening day of the 2023 season, weren’t great.

Within that quandary is the eternal problem for the LGFA and Camogie Association – access to pitches. They remain at the mercy and goodwill of GAA units. Until all three organisations are under the one umbrella, these problems will continue. Indeed, even after the integration is complete playing facilities will be the most difficult of that house-share arrangement.

“If the LGFA said we need the game to be played at a pitch with a stand then we would have gone to Páirc Tailteann, we’d have no problem with that,” said Bohan. “We are in the four corners of Ireland for our next couple of league games, going up the road to Páirc Tailteann wouldn’t have bothered us.”
