The association has been heavily criticised for showing Munster hurling games on GAAGO instead of free-to-air television.
THE GAA HAS responded to complaints regarding the coverage of championship matches streaming on GAAGO, saying that showing every game on RTÉ is “not realistic”.
Hurling pundits Jackie Tyrrell and Dónal Óg Cusack echoed the criticism of the current broadcast coverage on The Sunday Game, with Cusack asking if RTE and the GAA are “exploiting hurling”. “GAAGO is bringing far more games to the public than was previously the case over the last broadcast arrangement.— The Sunday Game May 7, 2023
“The Limerick v Clare one was a massive one, I was at that, it was amazing. The game itself, that was originally a Sunday slot, it was offered to RTÉ and taken by RTÉ. The Great Limerick Run came in that weekend and the match was moved to the Saturday. So rather than it not being broadcast, naturally GAAGO picked it up and we were more than happy to pick it up as well.
“It is unfortunate for those people who might not be able to Chromecast or aren’t as savvy, but we see lots of anecdotal news of people helping neighbours out.
