The return of crowds after Covid and a record dividend from Croke Park contribute to a reassuring year for the association

According to finance director Ger Mulryan, consolidated revenues – including Croke Park stadium earnings of €46.3 million and other smaller contributors like the insurance and injury fund – were also a record at €138.7 million, up on the previous high-water mark of €118 million in 2019.

He cited the “return to normal activity” as being central to this recovery. That reversion to the norm included gate receipts of €33.4 million, slightly down on the last comparable year in 2019, which came in at €36.1 million – the difference more or less down to that year’s All-Ireland final replay between Dublin and Kerry.

That dividend was €17 million, the highest distribution since the heyday of Ireland rugby and soccer internationals in the stadium when 2009 emulated the figure. Stadium director Peter McKenna welcomed the figures as “special”, adding: “The real positive variant in this was undoubtedly the impact of concerts. The seven concerts would have contributed €7.6 million during that period. I also want to stress that these results are exceptional. For example there are no concerts in 2023 and we will return to a more modest set of achievements.
