Jump To Comment: 6 5 4 3 2 1i'm not a press officer for the GAA. but this is about the museum. i dont think the entry fee is outlandish.
They do. They however are not usually in posession of a world class stadium, 80,000 capacity, where U2 recently played for 3 nights and where huge games take place every year. Neither do they usually get big government grants to keep them sweet ( and vote the right way on Brits being allowed play etc). One public meeting at least should be open to everyone.
many local history groups charge into their meetings.
Far be it from me to suggest that the GAA are adept at making money and if the lecture was being held elsewhere then there wouldn't be a charge....
you will find many talks and lectures advertised here have an admission fee. there was story a while back advertising a talk by michael meacher in enfo. that would have cost you €15.
propfits will be put back into the GAA museum. i dont know if the GAA are paying the speakers in this case. but you can be sure the great environmentalist meacher made a tidy sum from his talk.
as did george galloway at his €14 a head talk in the helix.
Why is there a charge for this event? Where is the money going?
Isn't it unusual for a talk like this to have an admission fee?
