Minister Of Sport Commits To Equal Funding For Female GAA Players

There's currently a difference of €800 per player.

The Minister of State for Sport has pledged equal funding for female players in gaelic games.

Under the current model, 12-hundred-euro is received by male players while female players get just four-hundred-euro.

In an interview with R-T-E, Minister Jack Chambers proposed 12-hundred-euro for both.

That would see total funding from the government to GAA players rising to 5.3 million euro overall from last year's figure of of 3.7 million.
