it was Kerry football Aishling O’Connell who confirmed this while speaking at the launch of AIG’s new ‘For Times Like These’ on Tuesday and quoted by The Independent: “You’re playing football for Kerry. [Centre of Excellence] is where you want to be when you see that the men and underage boys’ teams are there. You want to be treated the same.
“We all backed Louise and everything she said that day, it was the truth. There was no lies, she didn’t gloss it up or anything, we haven’t been in there and want to be back in there.
“As far as I’m aware, our county board has been in talks with Kerry GAA but we haven’t seen any changes since then, which is a bit disappointing.
