Longford County Board are forecasting an end-of-year deficit of €300,000 as their gate receipts income is set to collapse following the Government decision to retain crowd restrictions at 200 people for outdoor events.

Longford County Board took in just under €150,000 last year in gate receipts, but they expect their gate income for 2020 to be approximately €110,000 less than the 2019 total.
