I see Tyrone Ladies have stuck with Mc Aleer and Rushe. Good bit of dealing and unlike Roisin there was a bit of loyalty. Any word on the money and were the new sponsors in the picture. Like to know if they offered to do the full package

Ladies Only: Question

Why are the Ladies accounts not released to the public and the clubs that invest in the setup? they must be handed back at the end of the evening - what have they got to hide?

I fully agree Tyrone, the ladies accounts are a disgrace, Raymond produces fully, clear audited accounts, there def is something not right but Clubs should just hold on to accounts surely. Is it not their right. I would hope accounts are audited if they are not they should be with over 100k going through the books.,its really a business. The Treasurer should be an accountant

Can I ask if anyone knows the answer to this? Genuinely interested. It was stated last night that HMRC claim that anyone outside Official GAA must pay for the use of Garvaghey hence the ladies must pay. Why or how can the HMRC enforce this? Surely, Tyrone GAA can decide who and how much they charge for use of their facilities?

a) Club Tyrone is registered as a charity and therefore we benefit from thousands in gift aid paid back from HMRC every year.

b) Given the subsidies involved grants etc I gather we have plenty of tax breaks in our payments to them. They can enforce by cutting these or enforcing by claiming we actually owe them more and hitting them with a bill for unpaid tax.

c) Clubs pay because they are part of Tyrone GAA. They don't have and this could not be legally enforced but I  gather most want to be part of the association and a paying member. I think a few clubs refused to pay in the past but eventually did

Club Tyrone hand over the funds to the Tyrone GAA for use, it is the Tyrone GAA who decide where Club Tyrone money goes or is used, many members of club Tyrone have only realised over the past year that their funds don't cover all the gaels of the county, ie camogs or lady footballers, several have contacted ladies county players about this and will be demanding a % of funds raised goes to ladies and camogs FACT. Clubs are forced to pay to use Garvaghey even though they are members of Tyrone GAA ask any of them who use the facility. FACT

Just a thought Tyrone GAA is being told to charge the Tyrone Ladies by Her Majestys revenue and customs....i thought Tyrone GAA was under the control of the GAA and its clubs. Well done Raymond Mc Keown i hope the Moy club are proud of you as i heard you told convention you would NOT give Garvaghy free to the Ladies nor would you allow support of some form of sponsorship towards the costs by way of donation despite having well over a million in the coffers. It has to be said ladies should stop what they are doing in GAA clubs to see where they are. Club Tyrone folk in America and London not to happy either

Wish the ladies would climb down of that ladder they find themselves on. The problem is with the LGFA and their failure to integrate with the GAA. Their crying makes me hope my club refuse to give the extra £200 request that each club facilitate them. There wasn't a motion put forward to be voted on so therefore a decision wasn't going to be made just a few recommendations. Ladies cry poverty when clubs already contribute £500 to their cause. Whole crying match uncalled for. I thought the treasurer acted in the best interests of Tyrone GAA as his role. Great Presentation Raymond keep up the good work.


I wish you knew the facts, Tyrone GAA are just too greedy, the £500 comes from clubs that have ladies for registration etc ffs some folk just don't know equality, Tyrone ladies want intergration as county officials outlined to a full county board meeting a few months ago when Roisin called them the ladies football club. Its at national level where theres no want for intergration one point hire of facilities for all Tyrone mens teams less than 5k Tyrone Ladies £13,k

Does anyone know why Tyrone Ladies minors are having three hour training sessions,  i heard from a parent in East Tyrone that 15 girls have refused to play for the manager this year as he is aggressive and hateful to them. Is that why so many of the players went to senior set up. Is it the same minor management as last year, i heard they weren't good.

There has been no leadership from Roisin, she promised a lot but delivered nothing. Damian Harvey has worked hard for the GAA in Tyrone and i believe would have support from ladies football he has promised to solve the problems with intergration and Garvaghey, too many have promised this before but never delivered. Michael Kerr wouldn't do much for ladies football if his track record this year is anything to go on. There will be some debate over the motions about Garvaghey too

Is the ladies not a separate entity? their own county board etc?

Were they not invited to come on board the Garvaghey project at the beginning?

In a word No....used to ge grants and support

Is the ladies not a separate entity? their own county board etc?

They are but every club bar one or two are all One Club, the ladies under the wing of the GAA club. strides being made for intergration, the fact they were used in all marketing for the project now they are one of the main users charged at the full rate and on occassions not even allowed near the place , Players have now asked that they dont be used in the marketing for it, last years fees were over 10k so clubs should be prepared to raise that shortfall in 2018 too. £700-900 for one day in winter when there was no-one about the place tells it's own story

Garvaghey will be missing the £10K from the women next year, heard they are heading to Cookstown or Omagh with county teams £70 - £75 per session now up on the hill just too much, so much for equality they and Camogie were used to try and get grants at Stormont and at other government agencies North and South. It's disappointing that Rosin didn't stand up for the female sports

What..... No ladies or Camogs included in sponsorship with Tyrone Fabrication, so much for integration. Roisin let's the women of Tyrone down again. Between charging for Garvaghey and now this its clear to ladies that she doesn't support us. A disgrace for sure, time for change. Why did the papers say the deal included ladies. Fake News

Will Tyrone fabrications not be on the ladies and camogs jerseys too?  Can't really blame them if not,  it's their decision to make and the men's team are the more attractive sponsorship deal.  40k+ at championship games or less than 400... No brainer ......

so what bout hurlers? wont be many at their games either?

Just 46,000 in the all Ireland ladies final plus live tv

I see in the paper and heard on the wireless that Tyrone ladies will be sponsored by Tyrone Fabrications, thats good news to see Roisin Jordan finally stepping up and supporting her own alonsgide the men, the way it should be

Just wondering if the Tyrone senior  Ladies and Camogs will be included in the deal,
