Marie Crowe is joined by Lisa Fallon, Louise Quinn, Marie Curtin and Tony O'Donoghue to examine the state of the women's game in Ireland and ask what the future holds.
All this week the RTÉ Sport podcasts are focussing on the future of women's sport in Ireland. You can listen to the RTÉ Rugby podcast this Wednesday and the RTÉ GAA podcast on Thursday.
How can the FAI grow the Women's National League? By people looking at the Women's Super League in England and people committing to the project, says London Lionesses manager Fallon.
However, Curtin of Treaty United says her experiences of trying to collaborate with FAI on improving the WNL would suggest that we are some way from that level of commitment.
Fallon and Quinn agree women can't feel grateful for receiving the basic supports and describe it as unacceptable that Peamount's players have to raise funds to play in the Champions League.
We also hear from Peamount and Ireland striker Stephanie Roche after their win over Shelbourne.
O'Donoghue reflects on Shamrock Rovers' comfortable win over Dundalk, who have a Europa League play-off to prepare for this Thursday.
RTÉ is a media partner of the 20x20 campaign, which is encouraging all with an interest in sport in Ireland to ask questions of sporting stakeholders nationwide to ensure that the progress made to date for women's sport continues to be driven forward.
