The Covid-19 pandemic has cost the GAA more than €25m over the past two years, despite Government supports of around €50m.
In 2021, the Government funded the GAA to the tune of around €30m having dished out €18m the year before, while there was additional money in wage supports and rent waivers.
By comparison, in 2019, the last financial year that wasn’t affected by the pandemic, Government funding to the GAA came in at around €6m.
