f. User groups that demonstrate ongoing commitment to implementing similar access policies will be prioritized and supported.

h. We confirm compliance with the relevant laws and regulations regarding equal status.
By implementing this Similar Access Policy, Gorey Celtic FC aims to provide equal opportunities and promote inclusivity in girls and boys football.
While Gorey Celtic does not currently have a dedicated girls team this is due to numbers. Girls are more than welcome to play within Gorey Celtic as per FAI rules on the boys team until such time. If we acquire the numbers to field a team at any age group Gorey Celtic will put all efforts to ensure the success for the team and help grow and mature the Weford Football Schoolgirls league,
