There have been and there are some serious questions being asked about some of the GAA Lottos around the country. Who is running same ? who is administering them ? Are accounts ever kept and shown ??

Can these accounts be inspected?Why pick on the GAA? At least, all GAA clubs must compile annual accounts and submit them to their county boards, who in turn must submit them to the central authorities in Croke Park. The accounts of all county boards and of the various Croke Park-based organisations are each subject to annual audit by independent auditors. The same cannot be said for many of the other voluntary bodies, charities, community councils, etc that run lottos up and down the country.
The problem there is no set way in law laid down about how these things should be conducted and run. Should a member of the Gardaí be in attendance. I know of one local lotto where the numbers are drawn in secret.There have been and there are some serious questions being asked about some of the GAA Lottos around the country.

Who knows?Who is accountable in the GAA for this.
OK,
If posters want to discuss the GAA they can open a thread in LOS or better still over on boards.ie!
Keep this thread to discuss the relative value and operation of Local Lottos.
There have been Garda investigations and indeed successful criminal prosecutions arising from such cases. If you have evidence that any complaints of this nature "were buried" you should notify both the Gardai and the authorities in Croke Park.Who is accountable in the GAA for this. I know of at least one GAA Lotto where the accounts were never evident. When questions were asked the records were destroyed and after the complaints been passed up the line they were buried.
Who knows?
The GAA has to be one of the most secretive organisations in the country. I don't think they publish accounts.
And even if they did who would or could believe them.
