Tipp want music gig at Semple

Chairman Sean Nugent has confirmed Tipperary GAA chiefs want to stage a lucrative music gig at Semple Stadium next summer.

And Nugent indicated that county board top brass could record a financial profit for 2013, having recorded losses totalling more than €650,000 in the previous four years.

Premier County officials have been working hard to increase income and cut expenditure in recent months. And they hope to raise up to €35,000 from ‘Tipptoberfest’, a series of events which will take place at the Clonmel Park Hotel over the course of the October Bank Holiday.
