It is unrealistic to expect every GAA intercounty match to be on television, GAA bosses will say this week as they defend the controversial GAAGO coverage of this year's All-Ireland championships.

According to opening statements due to be presented to the Oireachtas sports and media committee tomorrow, the GAA will address what it calls "some unfortunate commentary" around coverage of an intercounty match earlier this year.
