MAYO GAA HAVE revealed that they spent €1.6 million on team administration expenses in 2016, nearly double their figurefrom 2015.
The increase of nearly 46% in the cost of running teams is the most eye-catching figure in the Mayo GAA account details which were revealed today but the county board still recorded a surplus at the end of the year as there was a 44% increase in income.
Mayo spent €1,632,448 in 2016 in running their teams in comparison to a figure of €880,316 in 2015.
Their senior footballers were in action this year until 1 October when they lost out the All-Ireland final replay to Dublin while in 2015 their season ended on 5 September when they were defeated by Dublin at the semi-final replay stage.
However it has to be factored in that several other Mayo sides had longer seasons this year, which contributed to the rise in expenses. Mayo’s U21 side won the All-Ireland football title while their junior team also reached an All-Ireland final and their minor side contested an All-Ireland quarter-final.
