Inter-county players will be able to claim close to €5,000 per year under an increased mileage rate agreed in the new players’ charter.
With fuel costs having spiralled, the mileage rate has been increased by 5c to 70c, up to a maximum of 7,000 miles before dropping to 40c.
Interestingly, there is the introduction of a ‘green rate’ of €1 per mile where two or more players travel together. This applies for 6,000 miles, after which a 60c rate applies.
