Cooney: too early to speculate on loan plans

GAA president Christy Cooney has refused to put a figure on the amount of cash his Association may look to borrow to fund infrastructure projects.

With rental monies from soccer and rugby about to end and the Sports Capital Programme still frozen, the body’s management committee have given the green light to seek loans — should they be required.

“We haven’t put a figure on it,” said Cooney. “Until we have the figures in front of us, we can’t make a judgement call on what we are going to do. It would be foolhardy to say we are going to borrow €10, €20 or €30 million and we haven’t made decisions. Of course, there are limits on what we can afford.
