JP McManus donates €100,000 to every GAA county board to distribute to clubs

[ragingbull]

JP McManus has donated €100,000 to every Gaelic Games county board in Ireland to be divided equally among their local clubs.

The €3.2million gesture has been made on the back of Limerick’s All-Ireland Hurling Championship win this year

McManus has been a main sponsor of Limerick GAA for years and is heavily involved in sport, including horse racing and the upcoming JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor in July 2020.

A letter to each county board has said the intention is for the continued development of Gaelic Games in the country.

A spokeperson for the GAA has described it as "unprecedented" and an "incredible gesture".

I only see 50 crests on the ‘our clubs’ page on the website.

And there’s only 47 club contacts listed in the 2018 booklet.

Yeah so I see. It was brought up around the time of the club draw and I remember the line "one for every week of the year" being bandied about. Looking at Wullie's list, there are some there I had forgotten so there's no more I'd imagine!

 

[Big Jim]

Is Middletown hurlers considered a separate club?

Unlikely even though Keady are seen as two clubs, but I don't think they have separate committees like Keady.

 

[Bo Darville]

Looking at that list, I know mullabrack are involved in a youth amalgamation, are phelim Brady’s and Killeen active?

 

[William Of Orange]

Unlikely even though Keady are seen as two clubs, but I don't think they have separate committees like Keady.

Their might have been a few more Hurling Clubs set up if they had known about JPs Dough

Is Middletown hurlers considered a separate club?

Yes when their winning in the hurling & losing in the football

 

[M18]

I would like to see this money spread to the ladies clubs as well

 

[JoeH]

I would like to see this money spread to the ladies clubs as well

All the ladies teams use GAA club pitches so I'd say the moneys being given is going to all those who support GAA games?

 

[ragingbull]

the senior championship winners are getting the most money

 

[ragingbull]

I would like to see this money spread to the ladies clubs as well

I would like to see this money spread to my bank account

Yeah I was thinking it'd be spread equally as that's what the GAA press release stated. It's only fair to that for everyone.
