The Camogie Association has lifted its archaic rule that prohibited female players from wearing shorts, allowing them the freedom that their male counterparts have enjoyed. This decision, made during an emergency meeting in Dublin, was overwhelmingly supported by 98% of the delegates. Historically, the rule reflected misogynistic attitudes influenced by religious leaders. In recent years, players had protested the discomfort of skorts, highlighting the disparity in uniform regulations between men and women. The repeal signifies a progressive shift towards equality in sporting attire and recognizes the players' right to comfort during play.
