Donal O’Grady says that Limerick aren’t operating with a “blank chequebook” despite their record spend in 2022.
Last night’s Limerick GAA annual convention reported an outlay of almost €2.3m on their various inter-county teams, just after it emerged Galway had become the first county to break the €2m mark in a single year.
The fact that Limerick are backed financially by JP McManus is often linked to their recent success in hurling, though team selector O’Grady, who was speaking at the launch of the 2023 Co-Op Superstores Munster Hurling League, insists that the team management doesn’t have carte blanche from the county board.
