Fair play to our camogie players for standing tall and winning the right to wear shorts or skorts. This is all them. GPA’s proud to have their backs. Best of luck in the championship! #Camogie #LetPlayersChoose.

6 in 15 men have never spoken about their mental health. That’s nearly half a team. @gaelicplayers teaming up with @Movember and the @officialgaa to change that. Mental fitness matters — on and off the pitch. #TalkMorePlayBetter #GPA.

Home advantage is a core principle of championship football. Antrim earned the right to play at Corrigan Park, and that must be respected. Logistical concerns can't override sporting fairness. I stand with the players. Ulster GAA must reconsider. #RespectHomeAdvantage.
