Revenue laying down law to clubs

GAA clubs across the country are facing a Revenue crackdown which will see them liable to be audited at any time and instructed to keep detailed accounts.

At a meeting held by Tipperary board officials during the week, a number of clubs were told that the new Revenue guidelines will be in operation nationwide.

In the strongest terms, they were informed their affairs must be in order, a sentiment that is now likely to be echoed by county boards across the country.
