‘Substantial loss’ incurred by Kildare

KILDARE GAA secretary Kathleen O’Neill warned the county is in the last chance saloon as they bid to tackle a €200,000 debt.

O’Neill conceded in her report to Saturday’s annual convention that the “remedial action needed was not taken” by the board to avert the crisis.

A number of fundraising initiatives have been launched including new county jerseys and the creation of a Kildare GAA shop in Newbridge. Costs of preparing teams are also set to be slashed for next season.
