Would that wash if u wanted to built a house, but only pay 1/6 of the cost to build it. They have to build whatever can be built, with the money available.They seem to miss the point that their sheer lack of due diligence, back about 10yrs ago, is the main reason we in this shit show.Well considering what the games raise in taxes in the local area, then yes. Govt give very little back on what it raises from GAA activities. I fail to see why an organisation must raise it all themselves, pay taxes, give employment for the area, yet get absolutely nothing back and the govt gets away scot free.
Sport infrastructure gives so much to an area. Governments regularly do recognise this and stump up too. As they should here. It'll pay itself back easily
