Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Inclusion in Sport: Discussion
Mr. Tom Ryan:
I do not mean that disrespectfully. There is quite a large amount of criticism of it and I am aware of that. Apologies.
We introduced what I would call cashless ticketing. We ask people to buy their tickets in advance when going to games. In actual fact, if somebody wants to buy a ticket to go to a GAA game, they can pay in cash. They can pay in cash at more than 300 or 400 supermarket outlets around the country. They can pay cash at more than 1,600 clubs and 32 county offices. Therefore, contrary to what might have been the perception, we have a very large cash network. We just do not operate it at grounds at the time of the game-----
