Presidency
She was Munster chair before she was elected unopposed at Congress in 1965 and used her casting vote to defeat the motion calling for the abolition of the double crossbar. During her presidency in 1966 the first national training programmes for coaches were introduced. She was one of three camogie selectors of the Gaelic Weekly All Star award, predecessor of the current GAA All-stars, when the scheme was extended to camogie in 1964.
Unusually, she resumed the chair in Munster after her presidency. She refereed the 1969 All Ireland senior final.
