FÉIRLA: A first of its kind for Gaelic Games | ‘We’ve been wearing men’s shorts forever’ | OTB

Margaret Walsh is a physiotherapist by trade, but more recently has become the founder of Féirla, Ireland’s first LGFA‑approved playing kit designed specifically for women and girls. Margaret sat down with Rachel Sheehan to chat about her journey from physio tape and side lines to textiles and trips to China to tackle one of the biggest issues in women’s sport: the sharp drop off in female participation during adolescence, where sportswear is consistently cited as a barrier.
