No it will not spell the death knell for developments in those counties and to be honest until someone provides evidence that this overspend extends to €110 million then I won't be paying much more heed. And please get off your high horse your mighty footballers aren't the all important cash cow you think they are, this years hurling championship brought home the gravy big time for the GAA and those counties aren't getting near what Dublin are having put into them financially so for what you provide you take as much away if not more, your costing the GAA money!!!!!

Ireland, the island's, 2nd and 3rd cities are Belfast and Cork respectively. Not sure whether or not Limerick or Derry is in 4th position to be honest. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13704 - 18/12/2018 14:48:09 2154622 Link 3 |
I never stated the amount of an over run I am pointing out that people like you believe money grows on trees (usually someone elses money at that). There is no high about our footballers if they are in an exulted elevated state it is their own doing. You sound like Leo today re childrens hospital overrun by trillions "well it might be the most expensive hospital ever built but it will be the best". That aptly sums up the attitude to wasting money the GAA simply doesn't have. HA HA we are costing the GAA money love it actually that is truly breathtaking.

I'm being cynical but it's hard to believe that some people in power in the GAA, probably just a tiny amount, are lets say abusing their position. Either illegally or at least unethically. Deals with landowners, developers, builders worth millions. TV, radio and media deals. Endorsements for amateur teams and players. It isn't the players or the hard pressed club volunteers who have to raise funds for their clubs but those at the top who get government grants but seem accountable to no one.

"As for the GAA now coming into manage the stadium & taking on the burden of the debt, if that is true - which seems questionable." Obviously with this statement you are implying that what the leading official from Croke Park stated publicly may not be factually correct. Obviously with two stories circulating nationally, someone is factually incorrect, it is just unbelievable that it is just swept under the carpet since & not a peep from any side, eventually it will surface just like the rot in Galway is being exposed.

The Irish government gave IRFU and to a lesser extent FAI 191 million to help rebuild the Aviva. That is a lot of taxpayers money. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 19/12/2018 10:47:38 2154695 Link 0 |
I was implying really that it hard to make a concrete judgment or to know what debt there is given the diversity in the stories between the county board and the GAA, obviously one contradicts the other so i am simply paraphrasing really. In reality it could be a debt management arrangement or it could be as described using the skill set within the GAA in terms of facility management, which seems quite sensible, usually the Irish way of doing things is probably a bit of both. Really with two different stories doing the rounds, we are speculating, wither side of the coin for me i still think the whole thing was and will be worthwhile when you apply it to the context i have.
