Thieves took what is believed to be €40,000 from GAA offices in Galway at lunchtime today.
The cash was the proceeds from ticket sales from the Connacht football final between Galway and Mayo at Pearse Stadium in Salthill last Sunday.
It was taken between 1.15 p.m. and 2.15 p.m. from the GAA office Aras Na Gael on Dominick Street, in the city.
