"They spent quite a bit of time in the dressing room and then emerged out onto the pitch," she said. "They would have had the opportunity to get out onto the pitch earlier had they not spent so much time in the dressing room."
Galway wing-back Sinead Burke responded to Hickey's comments today, calling them "disappointing and disheartening."
"I have so much time for the LGFA and have had amazing days with the association, and to hear that being said, it is a punch in the guts," she told RTÉ's Claire Byrne.
"The most disappointing thing is the question was never asked could the men's game be pushed back 30 minutes. That's the killer blow. The question wasn't even asked.
"All we were asking for was 10 minutes to get a sufficient warm up done to get us to match intensity to be prepared going into that game yesterday and we weren't allowed."
Other athletes have taken to social media today to address yesterday's game. Among them was Dublin's own Aisling Maher, who asked: "How are we still having this conversation?"
She also asked the LGFA to "do better."
