So the Government screws so many in the budget, but still lets Dessie and co. get their beloved grants. Marvellous. >:( >:( >:(

Aye indeed that €2.5m is vitally important in a budget of €50,000,000,000.

May I say I'm delighted for the lads getting some small token for all the hours put in, lost overtime,lost social life etc abuse from so called fans, bad mouthing by backwoods officials etc etc

Who pays the grant for the 6 counties, London and the U.S. (and Warwickshire in hurling too I suppose)?

If they feel they are not getting enough money at work they could pack the old football/hurling in.

Interesting to note form the Tyrone County Report that each Tyrone squad player will get near £10,000 each from the county in travel expenses and holiday!!!

...and yet they also need a grant.

You'd rather they were out of pocket playing the games?

They're the people in the GAA who are least out of pocket due to their involvement in the games.

I feel sorry for the Tyrone players - if they were in a lot of other counties, they'd get at least £30k instead of the measly £10k they are getting.

that's irrelevent to the point.

if a player incurrs a level of expense preparing, training and playing the games, should he not be reimbursed?
