Over the past week, The Echo have been in touch with clubs on Leeside to garner their reaction to the Cork County Board putting new levies on clubs.
It’s of course to try and help reduce the €31 million plus debt on SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Everyone is in agreement that the debt needs to come down, but is this the right way of doing it? Time will tell on that.
The then Cork GAA chairperson Tracey Kennedy speaking at a county board monthly meeting in December 2019 said: “Our clubs and all our supporters need to be part of our journey but I don’t see that by imposing levies. I see different ways of doing it.”
St Vincent’s PRO and Sinn Féin Councillor Mick Nugent isn’t pleased with the move by the county board.
