The financial implications of having no further inter-county GAA action in 2020 are becoming starker by the day. Yesterday, staff at Croke Park were informed of pay deferrals for May.
Further cuts are expected in June. In a conference call, county board officials were told that last year's record-breaking revenue haul of €73.9m could be down to as low as €10m this year – if there is no inter-county fixtures calendar.
Potential outgoings, however, could rise up to €25m. RTÉ Sport also understands that, as the cost of having no provincial championships will be extreme, every effort is being made to safeguard jobs and existing structures.
