TG4 do an excellent job with their GAA coverage every week and have been providing a top class service towards screening live GAA games from club to county to colleges for over two decades. It’s been an educational service too because I can barely speak a word of Irish but the little bit I do know now has been picked up from knowing the lingo from the commentary, co-commentary or analysis.
The station has been brilliant in lifting the profile of so many of the competitions they show but I felt they were trying too hard yesterday with the split screens and voiceover input from Mícheál Ó Domhnaill in trying to keep the viewers up to date with what was happening elsewhere.
