Kildare GAA chiefs no longer need Croke Park to sign their cheques

The Lilywhites will report a healthy surplus at next month’s annual convention.

SOME POSITIVE NEWS was revealed by Kildare GAA chiefs at last night’s county board meeting.

Financial struggles have eased considerably as financial statements to be released at next month’s annual convention will show a €200,000 surplus for the year.

Kildare were in such dire straits for a spell that a Croke Park signatory was necessary on all cheques written by Lilywhite officials.

But given these improved figures, that is no longer deemed necessary while Kildare have also received a €225,000 cash injection for continued work at the Hawkfield Centre of Excellence.

Kildare have received a sports capital grant of €185,000 while Leinster GAA chiefs have also coughed up €40,000.
