GAA Discussion / Paying Money to Managers
August 11, 2011, 12:39:24 PM
See there are posts on the Board about large sums of money getting paid to managers. Have always wondered where this money would come from. How would it be paid? Would the manager pay tax on it? Does the County pay into a pension scheme for the manager and do they pay their part of having him as an employee? Or is it all shady and murky?
Surely with it all being about allegations, then the tax people could prove to the GAA if managers are being paid or not. In Belfast, even the money from the gaming machines has to be accounted for in all clubs and bars. Long gone are the days of Clubs putting 200 pounds 'tips' in the books for the bin men' and such sundries. You hear fellas complaining about paying someone 100 pounds and 'All he does is put them round the cones for half an hour.' Would take it though that trainers are allowed to be paid and would be in the books as such.

GAA Discussion / We Are Back Again

Dublin versus Donegal

Mayo versus Kerry

All Ireland Provincial Champions play each other in the All Ireland Senior Football Championship Semi Finals.

Really happy about this.

(By the way was at Antrim versus Westmeath and Antrim versus Carlow and Antrim versus Down.
A load of rubbish really in comparision to the real Club Championship matches which are starting to get under way now.
Creggan versus St Paul's bate any one of the above three games in Casement.
Bye bye  Celtic Tiger back door. Reality and local rivalry are miles better.)

Oh and it is easy to get to Parnell Park if you follow the instructions given  a couple of pages back - easier than getting to Croke Park if you're arriving in Dublin at Connolly Station. Thanks everybody who helped.

Hello heffo/canalman or anybody.
Can you let us know what is the best way to get from Kylemore Cafe at the corner of Talbot Street and O'Connell Street on Saturday to Parnell Park on the bus - where the bus goes from nearest to there and how much it is.
Is there still a wee bar/club sort of inside Parnell Park or where is the nearest good place to the pitch to get a pint.
Thank you for any help.
