The GAA has confirmed that a new coaching games development funding model is now being rolled out.
The distribution of that particular stream of money has been a bone of contention for many years now with Dublin, despite their commercial might, receiving over €21m in games development funding from 2007-21, dwarfing that which the other 32 counties received.
But GAA director general Tom Ryan said 12 months ago that there would be “a diminution of coaching and games funding for at least one county and the overwhelming majority of counties will see a significant increase”.
There was no great sign of that as the GAA published its accounts for the 2022 financial year today, with Dublin granted €1,086,251 in games development funding, around 19% of the total pot distributed among the 32 counties, and well ahead of the next best funded county, Meath, on €302,852.
However, GAA financial director Ger Mulryan said that the new funding model has been “up and running since October”.
He added: “The commitment is there and our games development department along with our finance department have met with most if not all counties at this stage. They’re working on a plan.
“They’ve to bring back a joint plan with county, province and central approval and ultimately the investment will follow on the back of that.”
