Croke Park has announced centrally-sourced financing will be made available to county boards in the coming weeks.

At a virtual meeting with GAA county chairpersons today, GAA director-general Tom Ryan revealed the centrally-sourced borrowings will be distributed “at the earliest opportunity to assist in the running of their activities before Government funding is made available”.
