Outgoing Galway treasurer Mike Burke has hit out at the spiralling spend on intercounty teams, but stressed Revenue’s audit of county boards will not solve it.

At the Lough Rea hotel for the Galway convention on Monday night, accounts were presented that showed a surplus of €733,480 for 2024 despite a record €2.7m spend on their county teams.
