Ulster GAA Coaching Funds Running Out

(Oldest Posts First)

Due to the political deadlock up North the fund for GAA coaches in the North could run dry this October. Ulster GAA counties in the North are already lagging badly behind where they need to be to challenge for top honours. They run the risk of falling even further behind. Will the GAA transfer some of the funds for down south to those up north if this happens?

All monies collected nationallly should be distributed fairly and on a basis of need. I can't help but point out the irony of Justn McNulty highlighting this saying as the sdlp have been boycotting the executive in the 6 counties up to 6 months before it collapsed.

Some aren't value for money IMO.

This money is not from the GAA, it's from the government. It's called the curriculum sports initiative or something like that. Equal amount paid to IFA soccer coaches and GAA coaches in the North to teach fundamental skills to young primary school children. The Ulster Council still sends out its own coaches to older primary school children. These are two separate entities as far as I know.
