    If they are amateur and don't pay people how do they contribute to the economy? Maybe it's all the under the table payments that the gaa doesn't pay tax on that you are referring to?

    All sports contribute to the economy and if there was no gaa people would be doing another sport instead which would equally well contribute to the economy.

    I know for a fact, having witessed it, that culchies rocking up to croker sit on the kerbs drinking home made tea or cans of harp so they don't have to spend a red cent up in the big schmoke.

    Hi Jerry, nice to have u on boards.ie !

    As much as I dislike to deviate away from this GAA/Athletics funding conservation but there is breaking news on the pothole front.

    It has been fixed :D

    But who fixed it? Surely not the council?

    It looks like government grade cement anyway. ;)

    It's fixed, but it's a real 5 minute job. The patchy bit is about half a centimetre lower in level than the rest of the track.

    It was a joke. But you can put any of them in the bay itself.

    The reason we pay tax is to get public services and facilities. The Gaa just got €100m in cork, is it too much to ask for a €100k running track to be done properly? Is it ok to waste taxpayers money on making a haims of things for years?

    Would love to know where that €100M figure comes from. Considering the entire GAA's revenue last year was €56M, i doubt one sub unit alone of the GAA is being given 100 Million Euro from the government.

    Track is in fairly poor shape, lots of tears just past the finish line in 4 or 5 of the lanes.

    However, there was a sign up saying that the track will be closed from the 30th to the 6th for maintenance, hopefully it's a proper fix

    You were obv at the graded also. Yeh track in shocking bad condition, considering how long it was closed before I wouldn't hold my breath for it to be finished in 7days, I couldn't see that being a proper fix anyways.

    My understanding is that the repairs were delayed till summer to avoid a repeat of the situation last time. No one wanted to let the original company (who must make good) near the track at a vulnerable time of year and have it closed for months over winter/spring again.
