Meanwhile Galway GAA have recorded a deficit of over €336,000.

In a year impacted by COVID-19, income and expenditure fell throughout various department including inter county team expenses.

Less than €1 million was spent on the various maroon and white squads, over €600,000 down on 2019.

Income decreased by €1.7 million but that was offset by reductions in expenses of €2 million.

On a positive note, the streaming service for this year’s county championship generated €185,000 in subscription frees and was described as a “huge success” by Galway secretary Seamus O’Grady in his report to the convention.
