The GAH received 31 million in grants from the exchequer
What âbigotryâ in the GAA? The GAA prioritizes its own codes, and rightly so, same as any other functional sports organization.
Is whoever runs showjumping in Ireland obliged to promote cycling? Are the showjumping crowd âbigotsâ because they do not let lads on bikes into a gymkhana?
Get a grip.
Of course it is. Drive in to any pitch at any time and itâll be divided in 3 with lads playing 5 aside
The delusion is off the charts in this topic
No I wasnât. Tweed was a journeyman player, who I pointed out, at 35 was the oldest debutant in the history of international rugby. A short lived 3 month international career which only came about courtesy of an injury crisis which saw Paddy Johns cry off the morning he got his debut cap in 1995.

Soccer got 13m despite having more participation levels

The soccer club are not entitled to use the facilities, however, presumably to cover the costs of the building and operational costs, the club rent out this facility.
The soccer club arenât going in demanding itâs use or trespassing, they are paying an agreed fee to rent it out for an hour or whatever, which suits all parties.
If your golf club rents out the lake and you can pay to swim in it, then why canât you? No one is talking about entitlement here.
I play soccer twice a week in two neighbouring gaa club facilities and my son trains soccer in one of them too. Pretty much all of us playing soccer are involved in our local gaa clubs too. The rent they get on these indoor soccer games runs into thousands per month and help them pay off the debt to build them.

That funding is from Sport Ireland, not from the Exchequer. The money from Sport Ireland that goes to any sports organization would not be going instead, say, to build a new hospital. The distinction is a basic one. You really need to get a grip.
Besides, why are you so bigoted about one of the planetâs great sports organizations, the GAA, getting funding from Sport Ireland? The money is extremely well spent as cultural capital.

No itâs not. The reason the FAI has shit facilities is because itâs always been run by corrupt crooks like your hero John Delaney.

Tomorrow morning thereâll be lads lining soccer pitches up and down the country, hanging up nets on goals, getting the gear off the line they washed at home, preparing the half time oranges and jaffa cakes at their own expense. Washing and cleaning the water bottles. Getting thousands of lads out and active but these are âsoccer headsâ and arenât the same class of volunteers as are in the GAH
What a horrible closeted mentality to have

Sports funding for cultural capital
I can see a problem
2020 was a one off . âŹ15 million was to run a championship
The state bailed out the FAI a few years back . They would have went bankrupt

Have a look at the land commission
I have no problem with a soccer club â or a whatever club â using a GAA facility. I think the current rule, while understandable, is a hypocrisy, in light of Croke Park being âopened upâ.
I am just allergic to the standard guff trotted out by soccer heads.
