Be interesting to see what "our side" has to say once they see there will be no GAA museum and the field will be too short for GAA and need a retrofit after the Euros. lets keep our powder dry for now...

There is no GAA museum in Clones, Breffni park, Pairc Esler, Athletic grounds, etc. That is not central, apply for some funding later to open a museum.
Field shorter would be a question of what is needed to restore it.

Here I agree. There won't handball alleys either and to me that is fine to get it over the line. But wait and see how GAA ones react. Sure look at this thread, lick of paint, cover an oul stand, powerwash the terraces, it'll do rightly.

What are you on about, there's a Culture/Heritage centre and Handball alleys planned for the stadium as shown in the Casement promo video on youtube and in the approved plans submitted to the council?

Are rounders and handball clubs included in this?

No, according to the article on the opening post of the thread.

The article mentions it's to be invested in Gaelic games / GAA, LGFA and Camogie clubs. Handball and rounders are two Gaelic games alongside football and hurling and both are part of the gaa so they should be included alongside their more popular counterparts IMO.

I wonder have any clubs received their share yet?

There might be a few separated but most handball clubs that I know of are part of a gaa club (with their own separate handball committee etc but reporting to the main gaa club committee etc)

I presume it's similar for rounders but not sure?

Would cutting the mens mileage rate per KM say by a quarter or a third and then allowing ladies to claim the same rate work? That way both sets of intercounty players would be able to get mileage and might be more affordable for the GAA?

Are you asking the men to lose out on money, even though they generate the lions share of the revenue?

If it mean's achieving the equality demanded for by their reps in the GPA (and presuming, as has been suggested here, that the GAA couldn't afford to pay out the current mileage rate amounts to ladies as they do men's), then yes. Regarding the generation of revenue, the GAA already funds loads of stuff that doesn't (at least that I know of) make much money for them e.g. scor, handball, rounders, health and wellbeing initiatives, irish language initiatives etc

You're a Tory aren't you.
Better to have the  peasants blame each other for their poverty , than ask the rich to share a little.

I was making an honest suggestion, no need for the name-calling like, very childish.

There's been multiple posts here saying the GAA can't afford it, i just thought my suggestion above might be a possible solution.
