Grant attacks central funding

THE majority of county boards are continuing to struggle financially because of the ‘paltry’ redistribution of funds from central level, Waterford GAA secretary Seamus Grant has claimed.

In his report to next weekend's annual convention in Dungarvan, Grant warns of the threat of many of the counties becoming 'completely insolvent'. He also calls for a reappraisal of the qualifying system in the senior football championship.

In common with most others, the Waterford Board has to rely on raising money outside of the normal channels gate receipts predominantly with the result they have to rely increasingly on other resources and monies from central funds.
