Treasurer slams ‘serious abuse’ of Galway GAA credit card

The “serious abuse” of the Galway GAA credit card for the payment of personal expenses, officer expenses totalling €45k in 2016 and running up a ticket debt of almost half a million were among the explosive revelations by Galway county board treasurer Mike Burke at last night’s heated convention.

Breaking his silence on the financial mismanagement within Galway GAA during the period 2015-17, which led to an independent audit commissioned by Croke Park, Burke said there had been a frightening lack of transparency and oversight.
