Legendary Irish owner JP McManus has pledged to donate €1m to every GAA county board. McManus, a multi billionaire whose green and gold hoops have been carried by some of the sport's brightest lights, such as Istabraq, has been a long-time backer of his own Limerick GAA. 

Viewed by many as one of the greatest hurling teams of all time, Limerick have dominated the past four All-Ireland championships, and have won five of the past six Liam MacCarthy Cups. 

On Thursday it emerged that McManus would extend his support to the remaining 31 counties in Ireland, to be distributed equally among the GAA, LGFA and Camogie organisations.

The move comes after McManus gave €100,000 to every GAA county board in Ireland five years ago which amounted to €3.2 million. 

A statement released on Thursday read, “Clubs have this morning been notified of the news. The funds which will be distributed before Christmas will greatly help clubs as they prepare their plans for the 2024 season.”
