Chris Andrews (SF), Dublin Bay South

I will leave the final words to Feidhlim Kelly:
If the GAA are allowed 30 players on the pitch, you could easily have a race on the road with 30 people, or if you took the top 20 men and women, based on times, have a cross-country race. This is not about athletics versus GAA ... but the best athletes in my group are on that elite level.
All of our elite athletes should be treated equally.
