Duffy admits Dublin may not be alone in facing cuts

GAA director general Páraic Duffy has revealed Dublin will not be the only county hit with a reduction in central funding.

The Irish Examiner reported last week the GAA’s national financial management committee are planning to reduce the funding made available to the Dublin County Board for coaching in the capital, a move strongly criticised by Dublin chairman Andy Kettle and football boss Jim Gavin.

Kettle claimed reallocating Dublin’s funding to the so-called weaker counties amounted to “robbing Peter to pay Paul”. Duffy is adamant Dublin are not being targeted by top brass, admitting other counties may also see a reduction in their coaching allocations.
