The GAA are to review the scale of the games development grant allocated to Dublin on an annual basis.

Eyebrows were raised at yesterday's launch of the GAA annual accounts when it emerged that the capital receive a 47% slice of the games development grant cake.

€1.46m is the exact figure and Croke Park director of finance Tom Ryan revealed a committee has been set up to examine how funds are distributed in the future.

"It's not a question of trying to take resources away from particular counties, the job really should be to provide extra for all of the other counties," he said to The Irish Independent.

"It's going to be a job of work that will probably take up to three years in terms of re-balancing competition dividends and things like that, but you will see some changes emerging from that group over the course of the next 18 months to three years."
