The Tribesmen GAA supporters club, which has fundraised almost €1.2m for Galway teams over the past three years, will consider its future existence over the coming weeks. Having been questioned about the credibility of its finances in recent weeks, as well as its links to an embattled county board, the Tribesmen GAA supporters club today released a statement outlining the financial contribution made to Galway GAA since 2017. The statement also conveys the frustration of the supporters club at not being consulted during the Mazars audit of Galway GAA finances last year. “Tribesmen Supporters Club has always acted with transparency and openness, and we have always produced a detailed income and expenditure account for all of the fundraising events organised and delivered by us. “While we desire nothing but the best for all Galway GAA inter-county teams, as do all Galway supporters, we as the Tribesmen Supporters Club are assessing our future over the coming weeks.”Over the past three years, the Tribesmen GAA supporters club has raised €1.177m.
