First and foremost - thanks to JP. Great boost for a county like Leitrim to get €100,000. What do people think we should do with the money though? I'd like to see it spent on worthwhile causes that will benefit the entire county: maybe use it to pay the apparently sky-rocketing rates on Pairc Sean for a few years, or maybe keep it as a nest egg for a few years so the county board can fly first class to New York next time round. Any other ideas? MagnumPIG (Leitrim) - Posts: 131 - 25/09/2018 12:04:16 2143696 Link

Clubs are cash strapped and should be distributed immediately. 24 clubs in Leitrim although I'm not sure about St Osnats now. But 24 clubs get €4166 each.

Some Chandeliers for the dressing rooms in Annaduff would be a nice touch, Dan_Toal (Leitrim) - Posts: 233 - 25/09/2018 14:28:54 2143738 Link
They could pay a few lads to do Valet parking in Pairc Sean, hate having to park the car. Dan_Toal (Leitrim) - Posts: 233 - 25/09/2018 14:51:21 2143749 Link
