Supermac's have sought clarification from the Galway County Board over how the sponsorship money they have provided to the county has been used.
Supermac's confirmed the amount of money they had provided to GAA in the county over the past five years, totalling almost €1.6million. This includes €1.25million in direct funding and €340,000 in ancillary sponsorship (which includes the facilitating of fundraisers and club sponsorship).
In a statement released this evening, they had this to say:
Supermac’s would like to seek clarification from the Galway County Board as to how this money was spent. Specifically, have the players and management benefitted or has the county board benefitted?
Supermac’s raised financial concerns with the Galway County Board 4 years ago.
Supermac’s understands that 2 investigations have taken place into the finances of Galway GAA; One conducted by Galway GAA and a second conducted by Mazars. Supermac’s is calling for these investigations to be made public immediately.
The vast majority of the Galway GAA public and mentors, who give their time voluntarily for the promotion and administration of our games and the welfare of our players, deserve no less.
