However, it's reported that individual players incur an average net expense loss of €4,602 annually
Inter-county players are generating a total economic impact of €591 million annually.
That's according to a new report released by the Gaelic Players Association today.
Among the key findings, senior inter-county games generated:
- €359 million in direct spending (+51%)
- 4,212 jobs that were directly supported (+53%)
- €353 million in gross value added (+53%)
- €62 million in exchequer impact (+49%)
The economic assessment also claims that individual players incur an average net expense loss of €4,602 annually.
Adjusted for inflation, players are €1,499 worse off than in 2018, largely due to out-of-pocket expenses for training and competing at the elite level.
In a survey of current inter-county players, many spoke of the impact that their playing commitments have on educational and career progression.
