Clare GAA CEO questions if Liam MacCarthy title demands cost Banner in 2025

Deirdre Murphy also said Paul Madden becoming Clare's third senior football manager in as many years “is far from ideal for our team” and “as we have learned, a risk that seems to come with appointing managers from outside the county”.

Clare GAA’s team expense bill for 2025 fell by only €64,254, despite their hurlers exiting the championship two months earlier than last year’s All-Ireland winning campaign.

Team expenditure totaled €1,502,208 for the shorter 2025 campaign, with year-on-year spend increases recorded in mileage, expenses, medical, facility hire, and travel and accommodation.
