As team spending by the six Munster counties soars past the €10m mark for the first time, Cork’s money minders have emphasised to senior managers Pat Ryan and John Cleary the need to stem costs in 2024.

Four of the six counties in the province - Cork, Clare, Tipperary, and Waterford - saw year-on-year team spending increase by a minimum of 24%, contributing to the overall Munster bill jumping from €8.77m last year to €10.4m in 2023.
