Munster Council in line for €2m payday

Munster Council chiefs are predicting a €2m cash bonanza with chairman Robert Frost anticipating bumper attendances at the Munster senior football and hurling finals.

And Frost suspects that if Waterford and Tipperary contest the minor hurling decider on July 14, the ‘full house’ signs will go up at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.

He said: “If we end up with Limerick and Cork in the minor and senior, it might pull us back a small bit. But whatever way it works out, we won’t be that far off a sellout.”

Frost has been informed by Limerick officials that the Gaelic Grounds can cater for 44,000 on Munster final day, with Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney capable of holding 38,000 fans for the Kerry-Cork football final on July 7.
