Beleaguered county boards sweat on Central Council grant

Peter Greene, Sligo County Board Treasurer

GAA county boards are concerned the Central Council ‘county operating grant’ of €185,000 will not be paid to them in 2020.

County boards each received €80,000 of their grant allocation earlier in the year, but say they are in the dark as to whether the remaining €105,000 will be forthcoming from Croke Park given the GAA is facing a major reduction in income for 2020.
