Croker yields over €17m to GAA

THE Croke Park management company handed over €17 million to the Ard Chomhairle last year, the central council of the GAA, a €1.5m increase on 2008.

It also made a transfer to an asset replacement reserve of €3.2m for the future redevelopment of the stadium.

According to accounts just filed for Páirc an Chrócaigh Teoranta and subsidiary companies, the company made a profit of €21.5m before the payment to the Ard Chomhairle, up from €20.1m in the previous year.
