Ailish Whitty will be the next president of the Camogie Association after being elected Uachtarán Tofa at their annual congress at the Canal Court Hotel in Newry.

The Galway native, who settled in Wexford, ran unopposed and will succeed Brian Molloy in the role.

Whitty has a 25-year relationship with camogie as a player, coach, and administrator.

A member of Rathgarogue/Cushinstown GAA, she served as the national coaching and games representative on Ard Chomhairle (2017–2020), where she successfully integrated foundation coaching across the three codes and revised intercounty juvenile competitions.

She is in her third year as the Leinster delegate to Ard Chomhairle and a member of the governance sub-committee.

Molloy, meanwhile, used his final congress as president to stress for people to keep faith in the integration process that seeks to align the Camogie Association, GAA and LGFA.

"Ní neart go cur le chéile, Together, we are stronger," he said.

"If we work together, with purpose, with openness, and with belief, we can deliver something transformative for our members and for our collective future.

"Let us grasp this opportunity, commit fully to the journey ahead, and ensure that when future generations look back, they will thank us for the decisions we make now."

In terms of motions, the Under-23 grade was brought into rule, and the association's streaming policy was adopted.
