Referees in all leagues are reminded that in All Cases, the Urban Travel Allowance part of your fee is calculated from THE GPO in Dublin, not from where you live. If your fixture is more than Twelve and a half miles from the GPO the Urban Travel Allowance is not applied. The travel fee is then calculated at 50c per mile both ways. However the Urban travel allowance will NOT be less than €18 no matter where the match is. Any game played within 12 and a half miles of the GPO the Urban travel allowance fee of €18 is the ONLY Fee you can charge. There can be NO Extra Charge on top of this. The DDSL does not have an extra fee payable to referees. The NDSL has an arrangement whereby an extra €3 is payable for games beyond Swords.

Important Notice For ALL Under 11 games
Please note that Referees fee for ALL Under 11 games are €24, Not €15 as on FAI website. While the games have gone to Nine a side, the duration hasn't changed.

Take no excuses from anyone at the ground and remember this is a directive to ALL our members. If the posts move, NO GAME.
