Toner advises counties to cut expenses on teams

LEINSTER Council treasurer Pat Toner has warned counties in the province to dramatically slash their team expenditure to ensure they don’t face serious financial difficulties.

In his report to this Saturday’s annual convention in Longford, council secretary Michael Delaney suggested “one or two of our county committees” may be facing monetary issues.

Toner has supported Delaney’s point by arguing the necessity of county boards to cut the significant six and seven figure sums they are shelling out on preparing their inter-county teams.
