Co Louth physio redesigning sportswear for women
While tens of thousands of women and girls will take part in Gaelic games this weekend, only a minority will step on to the pitch wearing kit that puts their comfort front and centre.
In Co Louth, a physiotherapist and mother-of-two named Margaret Walsh has launched a sportswear brand called Féirla. The brand is designed specifically for female athletes, with the aim of providing comfort, confidence and support during play. Six months after its launch, Féirla has gained LGFA approval, and Walsh hopes to secure the Camogie Association's endorsement in the future.
For Walsh, Féirla represents more than just clothing - it represents change, a sense of belonging and a place for girls within sports. In the lead-up to Budget 2027, a report series on small businesses will feature Féirla in the first of its installments.
