Isn’t it funny how Galway are successful and sponsored by Supermacs, Limerick hurling by JP and Dublin let’s just say are sponsored by the HQ. Only competitive Provence is Ulste

Well, I think the GAA funding is allocated along the lines of county population and % GAA participation rate - so Dublin/Cork/Galway are already ahead of the curve there and have the natural advantage

In terms of sponsors on the shirt, I do think the GAA should take greater note of how much each county is getting in both cash and “favours”. I always find it gas that some counties are sponsored by local businesses and others are sponsored by large multinational corporations....

That said, I don’t think AbbVie could fix Sligo GAA with any amount of big pharma money

So you’re saying that without JPs money, Limerick GAA would collapse and they’d never lift another piece of Silverware?

It looks like it’s the school teams and Limerick City club teams that have produced this golden generation of players... I’m sure JPs money helps with gym facilities and pre-match hospitality etc. but I’d say the player commitment and volunteer hours put in by youth coaches for over a decade is the real catalyst for them...

Nonsense ,

Mayo or Galway have always won Connaught before any sponsorhip, with a few exceptions thrown in

Same with dublin,

Same with kerry.

If money was evenly distributed around counties, i guarantee that the same counties would still be challanging then as now.

When the Galway finances were audited two years ago by Mazars, their was suprise amongst GAA supporter's at how small his sponsorship deal was for Hurling and Football teams, including Juvenile...It would struggle to cover the bus for teams to games. Probably around 10% of running Galway teams for a year!

JP been sponsoring Limerick for nearly 30yrs. Limerick just like Galway owe alot to the schools and their competitions. But then again thats where the county boards are very active with coaching.

I thought the audit showed that his sponsorship wasn't being used correctly ie. Not being used to help the teams and players but the ovwrseers

When your teams compete at the highest level in every single grade in Football, Hurling, Camogie and LGF...its usually considered successful. Have seen all irelands won in every grade in each sport. The top dual County in Ireland.

Oh there was that too. But the overall sum of money had many laughing. Probably a sign of a bigger issue internally.

I don't expect to see it renewed in a few years, not the current one anyway...Galway Utd might share the wealth!

They compete at the top level in football, that's a bit of a stretch. One semi final in the last twenty years and one Hurling title in the last thirty years.

Wouldn't be my definition of success but each to their own.
