A chara, – I had the pleasure of attending the Ireland-Italy double-header at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin last Saturday.
Both games featured stunning performances from ruthlessly efficient Irish male and female international teams.
However, while acknowledging the IRFU’s generous act in allowing the stadium to be used for the ladies’ match, I find it baffling that no arrangements were made for the ladies to use the dressing rooms in the stadium. Instead, they had to make the five-minute journey from Lansdowne FC before the match, at half-time and at the game’s close.
Secondly, why was President Michael D Higgins not in situ for the start of the ladies’ match?
Surely having attended the men’s game, it was incumbent upon him to do the same for the ladies? – Is mise,
