Footing Croker bill costs Ladies Association €100,000

THE Ladies Football Association will fork out the guts of €100,000 to meet the rental bill for Croke Park yesterday for the TG4 All-Ireland championship finals in junior, intermediate and senior.

While the actual figure for renting Croke Park from the GAA isn’t known, it’s been reliably learned that it costs Cumann Péile na mBan between €90,000 and €100,000 to hire out the stadium for the day.

And, while the Camogie Association also plays its finals there, the bill wouldn’t be as high because, for the last three years they been organised in conjunction with the All-Ireland U-21 hurling final.
