Munster GAA will not pay any grants this year

Munster GAA treasurer Dermot “Weeshie” Lynch said it is the Council’s aspiration to recommence the issuing of grants next year, but any such return is tied to the crowd restrictions in place when Munster championship games throw-in

Munster GAA will not be issuing grants this year, with any return to grant payments in 2022 dependent on Munster championship venues being permitted to operate at full capacity.

The Munster Council paid out €5.7m in grants across 2018 and 2019, but the hit to Munster coffers over the past two years because of Covid-related crowd restrictions has meant just €91,000 was handed out in 2020, with not a single grant to be issued this year.
