Athlone Town

Bohemians
Members owned, annual fee
Bray Wanderers
Private ownership, multiple shareholders
Cabinteely
??
Cobh Ramblers
Current?? Moving to membership with annual fee.

Not sure Drogheda would be described as private ownership, a few years ago there was a fan ownership share issue at €1000 each. The type of ownership model is one vote per person regardless of number of shares owned.
Longford is private owned with one major backer behind our chairmanOriginally Posted by Mr A
Galway United is: GUST, Galway FA, Mervue, Salthill AND Galway Soccer co-op. Each has 2 members on 11-person board, the 11th being the chairperson who is no affiliated to any of those 5 groups
So effectively GUST now control 40%? (Assuming most co-op members are of a GUST persuasion)

Chapter and verse on 11 of PD clubs.

Derry - Derry City Football Club Limited NI601341
Drogheda - Drogheda Utd FC Limited CRO 506239
Dundalk - Dundalk Town FC Limited CRO 519313
Galway - unsure at the moment
Limerick - Munster Football Club Limited CRO 131715
Longford - Domeford Limited CRO 450246
Shams - Shamrock Rovers FC Limited CRO 245954
Sligo - Sligo Football & Sports Development Society Limited RFS 4473R
St Pats - Newtonheath Company Limited CRO 189439
The above is per the latest filed returns. The above are the operating entities. In some cases the above entities are in turn owned by members' clubs eg Drogheda and Shams. Some are owned by private individuals, some by the members and some are co-ops.
Now, who can answer this - which PD club is, by default, owned by the Minister for Finance? the info is on the public record!

Bray, obviously. He's part of the merry-go-round. It's really him that releases all the statements.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Short answer - No.
Cobh Ramblers moved back to a members run club
with MN from Limerick it has to be Limerick?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
NO

Ground ownership or capital assets should be a subset of this too maybe.
It's on the QT but . . . yup
It's optics as far as I'm concerned. Anything that benefits Galway football but is not in the the interests of some will always be voted down.
As far as I'm aware, Wexford Youths are owned by a company controlled by Mick Wallace, with Mick and Sasha Wallace being the directors.
It was originally 50/50 between the 400 Club and Ray Wilson. If I remember right, according to the last set of accounts the Members Club now owns 92%, and will eventually own 100% as intended.
Was going to say UCD owned by min for finance, but they not in PD. Cork?
Athlone are a members club
Might be an idea to put in membership / share fees as well. At Harps a share costs €317.50 (if you're wondering about the odd figure, it converted from £250 punts).
