'Archaic' camogie shorts ban needs changing now, says Irish lawmaker


(Reuters) -A rule banning women from wearing shorts while playing camogie, which led to recent protests, has been described as archaic by Alan Kelly, a member of Ireland's parliament, while also highlighting mental health issues in women's sport.

The Irish sport hit the headlines last weekend when the Dublin and Kilkenny teams protested the rule by entering the pitch wearing shorts, and were forced to change into skorts or the game would be abandoned.
