Anna FarrellGUEST
She was Cork's most valuable player by far.
Anna FarrellGUEST
I think Megan was Manmark and Aisling Thompson in midfield as well.
Anna FarrellGUEST
So the two of us had lovely jobs for the All-Ireland final.
Anna FarrellGUEST
Yeah, I think Orla Cotter was probably the hardest person I ever marked.
Daragh Ó ConchúirGUEST
And now he's honest with me.
Daragh Ó ConchúirGUEST
The thing is, you know, Aisling Thompson, and maybe there's no team with him that he did something that didn't go well with him in the first place, to be honest with you.
Daragh Ó ConchúirGUEST
Because that's something you have to understand.
Daragh Ó ConchúirGUEST
But, you know, he was kind to...
Colm O'MongainHOST
Now then, where are we now and when will we see the integration of the three associations? Will Mary McAleese take Jarleth Burns up on that invitation to reflect and indeed perhaps walk back some of those remarks? Well, we'll see in time.
Colm O'MongainHOST
Jarleth Burns said cost and financial concerns were some of the main reasons for the delays to the move and to look into this more I'm joined by Sean Kelly, former GAA President and Fine Gael MEP for Ireland South and Aisling Thompson, Cork Camogie player and All-Ireland Champion in 2026.
Colm O'MongainHOST

Sean KellyGUEST
Thank you very much, Colm.

Sean KellyGUEST
But we need to give momentum to it and do it as soon as possible.
Sean KellyGUEST
Not saying that it's going to drag on for five or ten years.
Colm O'MongainHOST
Stay with us, Sean, if you can, for a few minutes, because I want to bring in Aisling Thompson, a Cork Camogie player, an All-Ireland champion in 2026.
Colm O'MongainHOST
Aisling, thanks for your patience.
Andrea GilliganHOST
Well, look, and I know it's, it's probably not a straightforward journey, you know, in terms of getting all of the different I's dotted and T's crossed and, and making all of this happen logistically.
Andrea GilliganHOST
But, but the issue I think from listening to Aisling Thompson earlier and, and yourself, Anna, is that, like, that's fine.
Andrea GilliganHOST
If there's a delay, if it's not going to happen, if we're not gonna meet the targets and the timelines, but keep us updated on this along the way.
Anna GearyGUEST
Yeah, like, in, in any business, right, and we've probably all been involved, uh, down through our own lives where deadlines haven't gone according to plan.
Fran CurryHOST
Indeed, everybody's real smiley in it.
Fran CurryHOST
Cork Camogie great Aisling Thompson took a photograph with some fans after last night's Hurling for Cancer Research charity match and some of the biggest names in hurling in Camogie.
Fran CurryHOST
as well as celebrities and sports stars turned out for the yearly event to help raise funding for cancer research.
Fran CurryHOST
The lead story on the Indo, out of control public spending, risks fueling a permanently higher cost of living, the budget watchdog has warned.
Jim BulgerGUEST
As will Patrick Horgan from Cork.
Jim BulgerGUEST
And the Downey brothers and Aisling Thompson is very popular as well.
Jim BulgerGUEST
Very good.
Jim BulgerGUEST
So Kyle Hayes will have his admirers also and the two Morrissey brothers.
