The financial crisis surrounding the unfinished National Hurling and Camogie Development Centre at Waterford IT has not adversely affected the designated hurling counties, the GAA has insisted.

It has been reported that the Carriagnore project is running €3 million euro over budget, and that the money needed to complete the works is not currently available. But a GAA source has told the Irish Times that the designated counties - Antrim, Carlow, Down, Kerry, Laois and Westmeath - aren't being affected by the fact that they cannot utilise the facilities at WIT.

"Effectively it hadn't been completed when governance issues arose but while we'd obviously be a lot happier if the project was finished it's not affecting our work with the designated counties," the source said.
