I am puzzled to see the GAA ask the UK for money

Last February the Irish Times reported that the GAA had a central fund of €74 million.

It is also an anti-British and staunchly republican organisation which has a number of sporting events and playing grounds named after PSF/PIRA terrorists, who murdered innocents.

It seems to me to be a political organisation committed to a united Ireland and the removal of traces of Britishness from the island of Ireland.

What I find puzzling is why the very wealthy, political and anti-British GAA is now asking the UK government for handouts for its clubs.

As well as being anti-British, they seem to have little shame.
