 At the annual national convention in 1906 women were elected to seven of the forty-five positions on the Gaelic League executive.Executive members included Máire Ní Chinnéide, Úna Ní Fhaircheallaigh (who wrote pamphlets on behalf of the League), Bean an Doc Uí Choisdealbha, Máire Ní hAodáin, Máire de Buitléir, Nellie O'Brien, Eibhlín Ní Dhonnabháin, Eibhlín Nic Niocaill, and Eibhlín Nic Néill.Though apolitical, the organisation attracted many Irish nationalists of different persuasions, much like the Gaelic Athletic Association.
