ALMOST six months have passed since GAA county boards urged Croke Park to intervene. Increased Revenue scrutiny had led to widespread concern. Now, Croke Park is detailing how they have responded to that call to arms.

The Mayo county board meeting in Westport attracted headlines for a variety of reasons, chiefly abusive emails sent to county board officers and a denial of any financial mismanagement. During the course of that meeting, association director general Tom Ryan made a presentation on the loan agreement taken on by Croke Park in 2015. Before he left the stage, he sought to address one other serious matter.
