Leo Varadkar: Most popular GAA matches need to be televised

"There could be as many as 10 to 15 major matches on every weekend. It's not possible for RTÉ and TG4 to televise all of those,” the Taoiseach said

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that the GAA and RTÉ need to ensure the most popular matches are the ones televised.

His comments come following pressure on the GAA to stop using streaming service GAAGO for top games. Tánaiste Micheál Martin said the big games should be free-to-air and broadcast on TV after frustration that two major hurling matches were behind the subscription service.
