Missing money, missing tickets - double trouble for the GAA

THE GAA was embroiled in another controversy last night after it was revealed that over €60,000 was transferred from Roscommon GAA finances to a company associated with the former chairman of the county board.

The revelation follows GAA chiefs yesterday apologising for the missing tickets fiasco which meant more than 1,000 Cork and Galway fans missed Sunday’s All-Ireland hurling final.

In Roscommon, an audit into the financial affairs of the GAA has revealed slip-shod financial management in the annual handling of huge sums of money.
