A spokesperson mentioned: “On the County Committee assembly on January tenth, two proposals had been put to delegates: to divide the cash evenly amongst the 41 golf equipment or to divide the cash based on the actions of every membership (dividing the cash by 81).
“County committee made a democratic resolution to divide the cash equally between the 41 golf equipment within the county. The cash has now been distributed.”
Donegal GAA re-iterated “large because of JP & Noreen Mc Manus, their household and their basis for his or her unbelievable generosity”.
They added that they did search readability from the LGFA and the Camogie Board as as to whether there have been any stand-alone LGFA or Camogie golf equipment in Donegal.
