Dubs €2m price of success

Dublin GAA chairman Andy Kettle has confirmed the county board’s spending on intercounty teams will hit close to the €2m mark again this year.

The high cost of success saw Dublin spend over €1.7m two years ago, when the Sky Blues won the All-Ireland SFC title for the first time since 1995.

And even though Dublin did not contest the football decider in 2012, and crashed out of the hurling championship early, preparing intercounty teams still cost over €1.6m last season.
