RTÉ hit back at coverage claims

RTÉ have defended their commitment to Gaelic games coverage in the wake of stinging criticism from Dublin secretary John Costello.

Costello yesterday slammed the Donnybrook-based broadcaster for letting down GAA supporters, claiming they have downgraded the importance of the national games compared to other sports.

However, Montrose, who previously sponsored the All-Ireland senior hurling championship, have responded in kind, highlighting that they will be showing almost 55% more live championship games than their closest rivals, TV3.
