Some counties got absolutely screwed by the GAA. Downs population 500k and Antrim 650k. Yet neither got funding any close to proportionate to Dublin. But then again nobody did. Just look at Cork.

The should really cut the funding for Louth and give other teams a chance.
If anything Louth are an example that you can grow your teams with just the funding you are getting. The funding argument is an easy go to for the counties that are under performing but it not the only thing that needs improving imo (picture below is 2023 funding)



Probably shouldn't look too much into this theory until Louth beat Dublin at senior level. Could happen this year you never know 😂

The argument with dublins funding has been that they can use it to employ extra coaches etc at school and club level so this should see their underage teams continuing to dominate at underage levels but this doesn't seem to be the example 

As I've mentioned multiple times before, in my own junior club we employed a GDO for a few years. It was matched funding so we had to raise half and the county board/GAA contributed the other half. Every club was at it to keep up. Was this scheme not offered nationwide?

Wouldn't have a clue if was offered nationwide or not know my club a junior club here in Donegal and didn't have anything like that in place but definitely wouldn't use my club as an example of what was happening in the whole county we been lucky to field senior teams in the last 10 years 😱

Fair play ro tg4 for their continued support of the underage competitions they are showing 3 games live tonight via their YouTube channels 

When sky pulled out I'd hoped they would get some of the coverage of the senior championship but it went to gaago instead
