Grounds for concern: Munster chief believes GAA needs to embrace more municipal venues

'What would be wrong with a facility owned by a City Council that all sports use when needed? This model has been successfully used in other codes in the country, so why not the GAA?'

WINNERS: The Munster Hurling Championship continues to be the big cash cow for Munster GAA, which raked in over €6m in 2022 gate receipts.

THE GAA needs to think smarter when it comes to investing big money into large stadia that are difficult to fund and maintain, Munster CEO Kieran Leddy believes.

Addressing a number of issues ahead of the provincial council’s AGM in Killarney on Friday, Cork man Leddy says building large stadia is one thing – maintaining them is another.
