Mr Thompson said it felt like the airline did not care.

"From midnight tonight, each individual player will have the option to wear skorts or shorts - adding choice while maintaining the professionalism and uniformity of our team kits in both colour and design."I want to sincerely thank our incredible volunteers for their ongoing support over the last few weeks, and to our delegates for voting on behalf of over 120,000 members, including 94,000 playing members."

The controversy over whether camogie players should have the option of wearing shorts or skorts had intensified in recent weeks, with protests staged by turnouts in shorts rather than the regulation skorts, leading to match postponements and delays.Rules had dictated that camogie players must wear a skort, or a divided skirt, for matches, although many players train in shorts.The skort has the appearance of a skirt, but has built-in shorts underneath.

A recent Gaelic Players Association survey indicated 70% of players had experienced discomfort while wearing skorts and 83% of players believed they have the option to choose.Camogie is closely linked to the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and, along with the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, is due to integrate into the wider GAA in 2027.

In a statement the Gaelic Players' Association welcomed Thursday's development.

"The GPA would like to put on the record our admiration for camogie players across Ireland and beyond, both at inter-county and club level, who made their voices heard to ensure this outcome."We'd like people to take away the key messages of our work - in this case, the history of colonialism and how that needs to be redressed," said Rabindra Singh.

"It also looks at how the legacies of empire still have visibility in the modern world, whether you're talking about attitudes to race, debates around colonial cultural ownership, for example."Her sister continued: "Wherever you come from, whichever your background is, there will be something in your background you'll be able to relate to."

The free exhibition opened on 10 May and has been carefully curated by Devi Singh, who has worked in Suffolk's art world for years and has long been an admirer of the sisters' contemporary style."They tell a story that requires an element of concentration, but what's great about it is that you can look at the work and not see something and then come back and see something new, over and over again," she said.
