All-Ireland finalists boosted by holiday fund increase of 88%

The decision in October came following requests from champions Armagh and Clare to bump the €80,000 grants distributed to each of the four final participants

All-Ireland football champions Armagh stayed at the plush Eden Roc Hotel on Miami Beach last month for their team holiday.

THIS year’s All-Ireland senior football and hurling finalists each received €150,000 towards their respective team holidays, an increase of almost 88% from previous seasons.

The decision made in October came following requests from champions Armagh and Clare to bump the €80,000 grants distributed to each of the four final participants, the Irish Examiner has been told.
