Marie Hickey

Marie Hickey is the current president of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association (LGFA).

She was previously Leinster Council president and vice president. Her playing career was limited to junior level. She teaches full-time at a secondary school.[1][2]

After the 2020 All-Ireland semi-final, she criticised the Galway ladies for not vacating their dressing room in sufficient time to complete their warm-up, after they complained about being hurried into doing so.[3][4][5]
