The Camogie Association has called on the Government to recognise the contribution of female players to Gaelic Games and reward them with grants similar to those agreed with their male counterparts.
The GAA is to introduce a charter for players and counties to expedite the agreement made yesterday by the Government, the Gaelic Players Association (GPA), the GAA and the Irish Sports Council over the distribution of €3.5million.
The announcement averted an intercounty strike scheduled for the start of next season.
While the move has been welcomed by the Camogie Association, president Liz Howard, believes there should be a similar scheme put in place for female players.
"I am delighted that a resolution for grants has finally been agreed between all those involved, this is a big step for Gaelic Games in the country and players deserve to be recognised in this way," said Howard in a statement today.
"However, the commitment shown by top level female GAA players is on a par with their male counterparts. With this in mind we feel that our players should be included in a similar grants scheme to recognise the outstanding contribution that they make to our national sport and to meet the additional cost and expenses that they incur when competing at the highest level.
"We have an excellent relationship with the Irish Sports Council and we are conscious that they have always been well balanced in their distribution of Government grants to both males and females throughout Irish sport.
"We hope that, given the level of inclusiveness that has always been present in the ISC, we can come to an agreement that will also recognise the contribution and needs of our top female GAA players. We will be in touch with Minister Brennan on this subject over the coming weeks and we will expect a positive outcome."
Under yesterday's agreement players will benefit by between €1,500 and €2,500, depending on their success during the season.
The money will be provided by the ISC but distributed by the GAA through county boards.
Payments and disputes will be monitored by a committee of Páraic Duffy, the GAA's player welfare manager, and Dessie Farrell, the GPA chief executive.
