Clubs are being asked to come up with between €700 and €1,500 per year to service the annual loan of €60,000 for the €2.3 million revamp of the county ground in Ennis.

Tier 1 clubs, including Eire Og, St. Joseph's Doora-Barefield, Sixmilebridge and Wolfe Tones, will pay an annual levy of €1,500, while clubs at the opposite end of the scale will contribute €700.
