The Courts Service last year paid the GAA just over €1m to stage criminal trials and other cases at Croke Park. Since the start of last year, the Courts Service used the Croke Park venue to host three court sittings daily and the rental bill to the Courts Service for 2021 was €1.037m.

The €1.037m payout to the GAA goes some way to make up for the association's plunging gate receipts during Covid-19 - gate receipts last year totalled €11.7m compared to a pre-Covid 2019 total of €36.12m.

According to the Courts Service, it spent an additional €360,000 on non-rental variable costs relating to using Croke Park, including security, and other set up costs.

According to a spokesman for the Courts Service, the weekly rent paid by the Courts Service to the GAA Croke Park firm, Brindare Ltd for the use of Croke Park from 1 April to 22 December last was €31,750.
