Ciarán Deely wants inter-county team funding capped

Croke Park must cap the amount of money each county board can spend on its senior teams, according to former London manager Ciarán Deely.

Figures presented to many of last month’s county conventions crystallised the ever-increasing spend on inter-county teams, with Cork, Galway, Mayo, and Tipperary, all of whom pumped more than €1.6m into their flagship teams in 2019, recording sizeable end-of-year deficits.
