Margaret Walsh is a physiotherapist by trade, but more recently has become the founder of Féirla, Ireland’s first LGFA‑approved playing kit designed specifically for women and girls.

Margaret sat down with Rachel Sheehan to chat about her journey from physio tape and side lines to textiles and trips to China to tackle one of the biggest issues in women’s sport: the sharp drop off in female participation during adolescence, where sportswear is consistently cited as a barrier.


For anyone whose week revolves around the whistle, OTB GAA is the constant companion. This isn't just a single show, but the home for all Gaelic Games coverage from OTB Sports, gathering the sharpest voices under one roof. You'll find yourself in the middle of the post-match analysis with former players who've been there, from Tommy Walsh's seasoned perspective to the inside line from The Football Pod with Paddy Andrews and James O'Donoghue. For the clash of the ash, The Hurling Pod with James Skehill and Paul Murphy breaks down the key battles and the subtle skills that decide championships. The conversation extends far beyond the weekend's fixtures, though. It's about the stories that build the culture of the games-the yarns from legendary careers, the tales from the county road, and the immediate fallouts from the biggest decisions. This podcast feed bundles the daily chatter from Off The Ball Breakfast and Off The Ball, brings you close to the action with live match coverage, and even captures the unique craic of their famous roadshows. It’s where the passion for football and hurling is dissected, debated, and celebrated every day, offering a depth of insight you simply won't find elsewhere.
