The three in a row All-Ireland Champions Limerick broke a new record this year, a record previous held by the Galway hurlers, according to the Irish Examiner. €2million was spent on the treaty county and their preparations in capturing the Liam McCarthy for the fourth time in five years.
The Irish Examiner report: Despite the reduced inter-county season, the All-Ireland senior hurling champions spent €2,297,886 on all their county teams, an increase of almost €1m from last year’s figure of €1,321,258, which was smaller due to the pandemic-affected season when the senior hurling championship was played on a smaller qualifier format and the SFC on a knock-out basis.
Some people have a problem with this online, ‘is the game not supposed to be amateur? How will the likes of Offaly and Carlow etc.. ever compete with this again?’

Should the GAA try and not step in and make it a more equal playing field..? Spread the wealth and give to the needy..
Galway, Mayo and Wexford also broke the €2million mark. But that’s alright I suppose cos they wom f**k all. Lazy and selective reporting.
