THEY can see the headlines already. When convention comes, Galway will stand out once again. Last year they were the first GAA county to break the €2m barrier for intercounty team spending in a single season. 2023 will likely be the same.

Last year, Galway chairperson Paul Bellew made no apologies for the outlay. They played 49 games across six teams that campaign. Limerick GAA exceeded the figure in the same year. Speaking to local radio station Galway Bay FM on Monday, Bellew said he believes they will report a similar total in the coming months.
