Dublin grassroots development threatened by cuts

Dublin GAA’s investment in games development at underage level is under threat following a failure to reach 2012’s income targets but the board have vowed not to jeopardise county teams’ preparations.

Last year, Dublin County Board launched their Unleashing the Blue Wave: A Strategic Plan for Dublin 2011-2017 and outlined plans to increase current investment of €3m in youth games development to meet future needs. Plans were unfurled to unearth new revenue streams and projections were made based on potential earnings.

However, those plans are currently being downgraded following a disappointing year.
