Killarney replay huge boost for Council coffers

Last year’s Munster SFC final replay in Killarney played a major part in the provincial council reporting a jump of almost €1m in total gate receipts from 2014.

The €922,957 increase was reflected in the gate receipts for the senior football championship, which amounted to €988,148.

The football numbers compensated for a relatively small drop of €127,705 in gate receipts for the hurling competition.
