WARD: SKORT ROW IS CRAZY

IRELAND football manager Carla Ward thought the 'skort' controversy was a joke when she first heard about it.

The Englishwoman now thinks the situation is “absolutely ludicrous” and “crazy”.

And Girls in Green boss Ward feels the fallout from the camogie dispute is symptomatic of “an old mentality towards women”.

Ireland have Nations League games away to Turkey on May 30 and home to Slovenia on June 3 to be played at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, home of Cork GAA.

Ahead of the May 22 Special Congress vote on the matter, Ward was perplexed that an issue of personal choice has become such a topic of national debate.
