Galway GAA credit card was used to pay for personal expenses

The management committee of the Galway County Board has been criticised for failing to complete an internal finance review midway through 2017 amid ongoing rancour over the finances of the GAA in the county.

Galway hurling board chairman Michael Larkin told delegates at Monday’s convention that allegations of financial mismanagement, the full scale of which were laid bare by county board treasurer Mike Burke at the beginning of the meeting, and included the use of the Galway GAA credit card for the payment of personal expenses, was first brought to his attention by two people in February of 2017.
