2018 All Ireland Senior Football Championship

whilst this is somewhat true, it also doesnt take into account what Dublin also gets from the Leinster council.

Have a look at page 22 of the PDF there.

you have €2.5m of GPO expenditure which isnt broken down into counties. Divided by 11 counties, that would mean each county getting €227k each. That figure alone is vastly incorrect, as for example in Wexford, who part share costs on their GPOs who are on a base salary of €34k, their total cost would be approx €190k for the 5 full time GPOs (including Wexfords own payments to this fund). And other counties have less than Wexford, so that expenditure must include payments to Dublin club coaching officers.

Another point is the nice tidy sum of €239k for the “Dublin coaching project”. Which is still more than the above figure even if you do divide by 11 counties only. So adding in the “missing” Leinster council money does not balance out the figures and actually makes the gap bigger.

Dublin GAA get plenty of additional money from Leinster council, which added to their main central council funding will still easily dwarf every other county.

On a serious note, its not Dublins issue money is thrown at them. They have huge sponsorship and revenue building avenues so easy to make money. They generate money on gate returns and merchandise. They have a massive population. All natural factors that help them. They are using the money wisely and making the absolute most of it (for example see Offaly pissing away their Hurling Development Fund money). They are doing what they can with the advantages at their disposal. Its not up to them to balance the playing field.

On a less serious note, fucking jackeen bastards getting everything handed to them. The cunts.
