Incoming GAA president Larry McCarthy has said financial assistance from the Government will again be required in 2021 and he will pursue this application for aid when taking up office later this month.

Following the €15 million State subvention towards the running of the 2020 Championships, the Irish Examiner revealed late last month that the GAA had yet to apply for further financial aid from the Government.
