The camogie skorts scandal that has seen multiple protests across games over the past month continues.

According to the Irish Independent, AIB has come out in support of players, whereas other sponsors have stayed quiet.

Delegates will be given the opportunity to vote to reform the dress code at a special congress on the 22nd next week.

Players have said that sponsor support in this matter would go some way to facilitating the vote going in their favour.

Waterford Senior player Niamh Rockett, who was due to play in the postponed Munster final, told The Anton Savage Show that the players are welcoming all the support they can get.

“The fact that such a big name as AIB has come on board and said that they support the players, it just puts more pressure on the delegation and the motion next week for it to go through,” she said.

“So, we welcome all the support we can because as you can see in the last couple of weeks, there’s been some senseless decisions made.

“I think the more pressure that’s put on to do the right thing, the better it is for the players, and I suppose the camogie population going forward.”

Ms Rockett said that as secondary school P.E teacher, this is a topic close to her heart.

“I can see how girls feel when they play sports; how they look is a big part of it too,” she said.

“So, not only as a camogie player, as a P.E teacher, I see the importance of it.

"But I think people that are making decisions at the top aren’t taking that into consideration and are still on their traditionalist views.”

According to Ms Rockett, a new date is yet to be set for the Munster Senior final.

AIB response

AIB issued the following statement in response to the Irish Independent’s queries.

“AIB is a proud supporter of Gaelic games and the inclusive role they play in communities across the country,” a spokesperson for AIB said.

“We believe in an environment where everyone involved is empowered to participate and be supported.”
