Since Dublin and Kilkenny were forced to change into skorts to fulfil their Leinster semi-final fixture in Blanchardstown last weekend there have been calls to action for the Camogie Association.
Two separate motions at last year's congress, which would have either replaced skorts with shorts or allowed both, were defeated, and cannot be put forward again until 2027.
RTÉ Sport understands that Camogie president Brian Molloy, with support and approval from the Ard Chomhairle of the Camogie Association, will bring forward a motion to be discussed before the association's Annual Congress in 2026 which will possibly give players the freedom of choice to wear skorts or shorts.
This decision by Molloy to seek and try to find a compromise is under the term "exceptional circumstances".
Any rule changes by the association only happens every three years (in the GAA, it's every five years).
Therefore, the decision made by the congress in 2024, that skorts must be worn for all competitions will remain in place for 2025.
The CEO of the GPA Tom Parsons was informed this evening of the Camogie Association's new perspective on the situation.
Bringing forward this discussion, and ultimate decision in advance of the 2027 Congress, is a major step forward by the Camogie Association who have been under increasing pressure to make changes to the rule.
