GAA top brass will hold an online meeting with county board officials from the 26 counties later today to discuss the Revenue Commissioners' risk review.

The urgent meeting has been called after Mayo, Galway and Wexford failed to sign off on their end-of-year accounts due to Revenue tax audits. Mayo GAA has made a voluntary disclosure of €119,778 to the Revenue Commissioners in relation to the potential tax liability for its Cúl Camp’s programme in 2018 and '19.

"We are aware that the inspector of taxes has raised a few concerns in a small number of counties," GAA director-general Tom Ryan told RTÉ.

"We're engaging with those counties. They have some work to do so we'll help guide them through that process. We'll also be engaging with the Revenue Commissioners and I hope that we can arrive at a satisfactory conclusion.

"It is important that there is a degree of consistency, and the best way to do that I think is for us to offer some guidance centrally for counties as they navigate their way through the process."
