Cork Board’s coffers in healthy condition with rise in profits

CORK County Board remains the wealthiest in the country. The financial statement to be presented to Sunday’s convention shows an increase in profits of €116,800 for the year under review.

Income increased by €400,000 to €1,881,310 made up primarily of an increase in gate receipts to €784,476 (€735,815 in 2002), commercial income (gross) of €562,256 (€376,489) and transfer income of €411,589 (€240,410).

These figures are all the more remarkable considering that there was a drop of almost €250,000 for rent of stadia in 2003. Páirc Uí Chaoimh hosted seven inter-county championship games in 2002.
