They must have been scratching their holes all year
The countyâs fundraising income collapsed in 2019, falling from âŹ860k, in 2018, to âŹ144k this year.
Also this paragraph is hilarious
âWe are using creditors money to fund Galway GAA. We should be paying people every 30 days, we are probably paying them every 90 days, just to survive. We are running a tight ship. Cash is an issue, but we will get there,â said Burke.
The treasurer said the continued negative publicity regarding the state of the countyâs finances is âreally rubbishâ. Kearney said their financial systems was the envy of other counties.

âŹ140k spend on legal and professional fees in 2019 in no way relates to an employee of Croke Park who was working for Galway GAA.*
The countyâs accounts for 2019 show a deficit of âŹ261k
âEverybody is entitled to their own opinion, but everybody isnât entitled to their own facts.â
No, just you Pat.
Spend 140k on covering your ass and blame the deficit on the players.

Youâd need your head examined to willingly get involved in a GAA supporterâs club / fundraising type role in the current climate. Galway, Mayo, Cork are just a few of the counties whose financial affairs are being argued about in public. Not to mention the backdrop of the FAI controversy too. Lads are demanding accountability and transparency so you really need to trust the ultimate decision makers as to where the funds are going. A lot of shapes are being thrown in public.

I canât understand why other counties just donât find themselves a JP? 
Every County Board in Ireland needs to be wound up and rebuilt on a socialist basis.
Is it now time to let hurling in Galway die?

Wexford/Cairde Loch Garman are a beacon of accountability and successful fundraising
The driver for all this partly has been the increasingly outlandish sums of money deemed necessary to ârun a County set upâ
Itâs frankly staggering the sums being spent.
God be with the days that players played for the pride of it only, coaches coached for the pride of it, and associated hanger on professionals like doctors, physios, âsports scientistsâ, nutritionists, psychologists, and life coaches and the like have of their time and expertise for free, other than the pleasure of being involved, a couple of tickets, and a thankyou at the Christmas party like it was back in the glory days of the 80âs and 90âs.
Fcuking snowflakes wonât get out of the bed now without sending an invoice.
Anyone who donates to a county panel has a bit of want in them.

If their local club were doing a bit of fundraising theyâd do the short arms, long pockets routine
When you see them win an All Ireland, you really donât care what it cost

Itâs the public, the supporters, who demand this level of professionalism from the players though. Sure the likes of Seanie O 'Leary would be mocked high up and low down if he hurled today, look at the abuse a few âstrongly builtâ lads have put up with in recent times. If a lad has a rep for being a drinker/messer supporters want him gone off the panel. The public have demanded it
This simply isnât true. Like I said, Iâd rather win junior c league playing club than watch the county win the all Ireland.
Well Iâd disagree. Each to their own but watching Limerick win the All Ireland was something I never thought Iâd see and Iâd rank it as one of the best days of my life.
