Government make €15m available to GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association to run off games

'Everyone is need of a lift and I know people seeing their team line out in the country colours will give so many people a much-needed boost'

The GAA expects to lose €50m this year and a further €20m in 2021 due to the pandemic

The Government has this evening confirmed €15m will be made available to the GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association to run off their inter-county championships.

The €15m in funding approved today by Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Michael McGrath is separate to the €40m that is to be split between the GAA, FAI and IRFU from the Government’s Covid resilience fund.
