Former Irish president Dr Mary McAleese steps down as chairperson of the Integration Committee overseeing plans to amalgamate the GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association.

The committee functions as a steering or oversight group for the integration process between the main governing bodies of Gaelic games and related associations. RTE reports her resignation from the chair role, while the Belfast Telegraph and Yahoo Sports describe the same departure from leadership of the group charged with overseeing the planned merger of the three organisations. The outlets do not provide additional details in the material provided about who will replace her or the timing of the next steps in the integration process.

Across the reports, the central point is that McAleese leaves the chair/leadership position within the committee structure coordinating the amalgamation.
