“Revenue generated from our fixtures will increase our club grants for the redevelopment of pitches and club facilities from €3m in 2023 to €4.5m in 2024 and allow the Association to commit to allocating €5m for club facilities in 2025.
“As part of its redistribution model the GAA seeks to re-invest a minimum of 83 per cent annually of its revenues generated back across its network in support of all its affiliated units.
“The additional ticket revenues generated will underpin a continued growth in our investment into coaching and games (€12m), infrastructural redevelopment of our county grounds and venues (€5m) and the continued capacity to assist club infrastructure through the GAA’s club development fund scheme.”
