With a €700,000 deficit, Kildare teams set to feel the pinch

Kildare GAA will be looking to cut its expenditure by €300,000 next year as its cash deficit now exceeds €700,000.

The clubs are also considering a proposal from Central Council that a new committee be given exclusive power to make decisions regarding the county’s finances.

Despite the application of a number of stringent budgetary cuts, most severely in the preparation of its seven county teams, Kildare built up a cash deficit of €140,000 from January to the end of July.
