Galway GAA could employ at least nine additional coaches if grants from Croke Park were handed out based on membership according to a prominent GAA figure in the county.
The Irish Independent reports that former Galway football manager and player Alan Mulholland, who is chairman of the Salthill-Knocknacarra club has written to GAA clubs in Galway asking them to support a radical change in how Croke Park distribute their coaching and games development budget.
This subject has been a thorny issue nationally for years and is set to be debated at next year’s GAA Congress in the Connacht GAA Dome in Mayo.
In his letter, Mulholland claims Galway GAA has been treated with ‘complete unfairness’ in terms of the grants they have received from Croke Park in the last 13 years.
