Fitzgerald hints at changes to grants system

Munster GAA chief executive Pat Fitzgerald has suggested clubs seeking capital grants will have to prove they are contributing to the community.

The Limerick man, whose contract was extended by five years last month, aims to focus more on clubs’ administrative structures in the role.

Predicting “challenging years ahead” financially, he warns clubs will have to demonstrate they are committed to promoting Gaelic games in their area as much as possible before receiving council funding.
