Several GAA units including a province are known to have provided money to the former GAA star at the centre of fraud allegations.

The province in question is understood to have given money to the player from a fund established for ex-footballers and hurlers facing health problems and financial difficulties. A well-placed source mentioned a four-figure sum was issued to him in the last five years.
