Derry anger at Croke Park staffing costs

DERRY GAA chiefs last night launched an astonishing attack on Croke Park bosses.

Chairman Seamus McCloy expressed annoyance and concern at how the Association is being run in his address to last night’s annual convention.

Said McCloy: “The huge increase in the popularity of Gaelic games has resulted in a phenomenal growth in the number of staff at Croke Park. This growth has been unplanned, unstructured and is inadequately monitored. Furthermore, it is adding a major fixed cost to our activities — a fixed cost which will not be easy to get rid of, should our revenue start to dry up.
