The Banner released a lengthier statement, but here are the salient points:
"With the support and advice of our managers, county boards and the WGPA, we have decided to withdraw from this year’s All Ireland series. Ultimately, we feel hugely disrespected as players and feel like we are in a no win situation. We are amateur players who train several times per week collectively and individually, making personal and financial sacrifices to represent our county team. We are presented as ambassadors for our sport at national level and are the flagship product for our games yet throughout this entire process we have not once been consulted with nor does it appear to us that our opinion matters to the Camogie Association. This decision has far reaching consequences beyond a game; we players are emotionally drained and devastated about this decision, yet once again, we reiterate that this does not seem to have been considered at national level. Player welfare is a stated goal of the Camogie Association and we feel it has been violated hugely in this instance. It was particularly difficult to learn about this decision over social media leaving us as individuals completely at a loss about how to react."
