€60million in State grants to GAA in doubt

GOVERNMENT grants worth €60million promised to the GAA have been placed in doubt by the decision not to build the National Stadium with taxpayers money.

The cash promised to the GAA by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, including €45million for Croke Park, was contingent on the development of the National Stadium.

Question marks also hang over grants of up to €10million promised to the Football Association of Ireland.
