Croker hands €7m to GAA

THE Croke Park management company handed over €7 million last year to the Ard Chomhairle, the central council of the GAA, a €10m drop on 2009.

It also made a transfer to an asset replacement reserve of €750,000 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 €10.5m before the payment to the Ard Chomhairle, down from €21.5m the previous year. It also paid a grant to the museum of €800,000.
