The measure is understood to be temporary, pending the resumption of normal operation, and job losses for Croke Park staff have been so far avoided. Either outcome – or both – would see the GAA take a significant hit on gate receipts. Last year, Croke Park recorded a 22% increase in gate receipts, generating a €6.5 million boost to a figure of over €36 million. The GAA’s 2019 financial report showed total annual turnover of €118 million, up 11 per cent on the previous year.
