Costello turns guns on RTÉ

RTÉ conveniently believe that Gaelic games in this country are played over a four-month season, according to Dublin GAA secretary John Costello.

=In his report to the next week’s annual County convention, Costello dug the heels in on the national broadcasters and claimed the country’s indigenous games have dropped down Montrose’s pecking order behind rugby and soccer.

And while acknowledging that Croke Park has decided to cut live championships games in 2011 by 20 per cent, he is adamant GAA supporters are being short-changed by the national broadcaster.
