Very interesting Neil - again without being a forensic accountant, I'd have to say that if I see a column that says "Games Development" followed by a column that says "Dublin Games Development" I'd assume them to be separate items (willing to be corrected here)
If that is the case, that means nationally 4.5 mil spent on development, specifically on hurling there was 2.1 million spent nationally, and Dublin was then given 1.4 million - you'll note that figure isn't broken down as I assume all those personnel expenses etc are administered by the Dublin County board - so I'd say the coaches you're talking about come from that 1.4.
The only crossover i could possibly see is with national competitions that are competed in by Dublin - eg Cumann Na mBunscoil and Feile - which is minimal in expenditure.
Role of the provinces is very important - so whilst Cork say get 100k games development specifically for themselves, the Munster council get 1.1 million - so I'm sure there are projects within cork that benefit from this further allocation. Dublin, because of population reasons, is essentially being administered as a province, separate from Leinster. If you look at it that way, it is actually nowhere near as unfair as Don't Matter makes out - in fact it is very near equal spending per capita.
