The venue for the All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football semi-final at the weekend was changed at very short notice, and has been criticized after the Cork and Galway fixture yesterday was relocated twice over the past week. Cork came out on top in Croke Park on a scoreline of 2-17 to 0-13 despite the upheaval.Changes included the match being pushed forward by half an hour yet throwing-in 10 minutes late.

Sportswriter Cliona Foley and Maria Walsh Fine Gael MEP for Midlands North-West joined Kieran to discuss if this is an example of an inequality still existing in Sports and if the situation would have been handled differently had it being a men's team.
