Do the IRFU publish those figures? I dont think they do. Wouldnt surprise me though, Leinster dont owe them money or need to pad out the squad with imports.
Accounts are here:

As far as I can see, the only time any province or provincial branch is mentioned by name is the Munster Branch with regards to the Thomond Park development, under Tangible Fixed Assets - incidentally, there's a €4.7m repayment due on the 30th April this year [page 40].
I'm not an accountant, but I don't see Leinster's name mentioned anywhere, never mind a breakdown of the payroll of each province.
I am an accountant, neither did I.
The interest on 7.4m, thats worth a few NIQ signinhs. Munster must be flush. How much are they selling them tickets for the RCC Qf for?
Put tickets up €10 and as is stayed clearly every year a playing budget is allocated every year independent of other budgets so again an NIQ signing would be under playing budget so not costing Munster too much. So as ye keep wanting to find holes on it.
On stadium rents. Yes Munster have a loan debt. But once it's paid off they'll be debt free. Leinster are paying rent continuously. Obviously it's not the most ideal for them but the cost will be there every year. They'll be only province in a few years not to play in a stadium they own.
Will this be all banded out when/if they need a loan?
And I love way ye simply react to a fact that Leinsters wage budget is higher by just trying niggly stuff.
If any of ye had clue. At AGM Ulster had a rep ask on playing budgets and reason Leinster have higher budget or cost whatever word you wish is they've more natuonal contracts and bonus issues to deal with. Fair enough. So we have addressed following.
Leinster have to pay more to players
Munster have a loan
Munster get alot back on concession contracts and Leinster dont
Munster have signed a few NIQs on cheap.
Any other cheap shots ye wish to fill in
