It had been over 750,000 in 2018.The accounts also show a significant increase in Coaching and Games development expenses.OMoore Park, which is accounted for separately, operated at a deficit this year of 10,530 compared to a surplus of 74,964 a year ago.Government funding of 30,000 in 2021 as well as lower service charges, fuel, light and upkeep costs account for the difference.Key figures (2021 figures in brackets)Total Income 1,619,912 (1,188,153)Total Expenditure 1,243,875 (683,021)Surplus/Deficit 376,037 (505,132)Gate Receipts 542,135 (240,943)Commercial Income 224,620 (192,630)Fundraising 179,718 (152,722)Income from Associated bodies 370,041 (293,989)Coaching and Games Development Income 138,915 (145,078)County Teams Expenses 639,745 (419,399)Admin Expenses 182,169 (116,668)Coaching and Games Development Expenses 248,220 (14,854)Live Streaming Income 45,348 (35,884)
What income is generated from coaching and games development?
Why is this money not been pumped into a proper plan for underage development? It's not like Laois are winning things and we have a super conveyour belt of players coming through, how is there not a need to improve things?
