Horan must have GPA fundraising on his radar

In case you missed it, the GPA had quite the tea party in Boston last Friday evening, writes John Fogarty.

With tables going for as much as $50,000, the wine flowed as the greenbacks mounted in their second such dinner in the city. The GPA’s fundraising endeavours Stateside last account year came to almost €650,000 and it wouldn’t be a surprise if something similar is on the cards this time around.

Not bad for an organisation without a chief executive. They’re a little short-staffed in Santry at the moment having lost Dermot Earley, a players development manager and their public relations officer in the last four months (there’s also a chief operations officer vacancy).
