Duleek-Bellewstown delegate Paddy Watters asked if there would be a reduction in affiliation fees for this year considering that clubs hadn't played nearly as many matches since the onset of Covid-19.

Watters pointed out that Duleek-Bellewstown had only played 10 matches in 2020 compared to 31 the previous year and said that car insurance companies and health insurance companies had all given discounts but the GAA hadn't.

Secretary Mairead Delaney said that the county had no control over the Player Injury Scheme and pointed out that despite the short season in 2020 there was an increase in injury claims over the previous year. However she said that clubs would be credited for affiliation fees for competitions that didn't take place and she was awaiting clarity from Croke Park regarding other fees.

The secretary reminded clubs that county players returning to training next week must be registered by their clubs or they would not be allowed train.
