No change to how Cork refs paid

Cork referees’ co-ordinator Michael Keane has been given assurances from the county board that referees will be paid in the same format as they were last year.

Keane said he has not been given instruction to ask match officials in the county for their Personal Public Service (PPS) numbers.

Despite county boards in Longford, Tipperary and Wexford requesting referees’ PPS numbers to complete new expenses sheets, Cork have yet to explain what system they will use to distribute match fees following talks between the GAA and Revenue earlier this year.
