Dublin GAA secretary John Costello has said that slashing the county’s funding by almost €450,000 will result in “job losses" and "sale of assets”.
The drop in money allocated to Dublin comes as a result of a new model around how coaching and development funding is to be allocated by the GAA, built around player participation and number of clubs, although it has yet to be implemented.
The shift came after years of pressure on the GAA to curb the previous mechanism on the basis that it was lopsided in Dublin’s favour, with their funding dwarfing that of every other county despite their commercial revenue also far outstripping that of their rivals.
