Cork GAA has introduced levies for clubs to help service its €31 million-plus SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh debt and raise funds for a centre of excellence.

At a county board meeting held in camera last Tuesday, the executive unveiled a strategic financial plan to raise between €400,000 and €500,000 per year. A large portion of it will be generated by charging clubs up to €2,200 per annum depending on their number of affiliations.
