Big 'Tá' for Hawk Eye firm as profits soar to €6.5m

First used as a broadcast tool to analyse decisions in Cricket, Hawk-Eye has now become an integral part of over 20 sports and every year covers 20,000 games or events across more than 500 stadiums in over 90 countries.

It is a big ‘Tá’ for the tech firm that decides questionable points in top GAA matches as pre-tax profits last year increased at Hawk Eye by 31% to £5.87m (€6.5m).

The Hawk Eye technology has become an integral part of the big GAA match occasions at Croke Park and Semple Stadium over the last number of years and the company’s deal with the GAA has contributed to revenues increasing by 44% from £22.4m to £32.m in the 12 months to the end of March this year.
