Hawk-Eye: Good enough for Fifa, but not yet for the GAA

A company approved by Fifa’s international board to introduce goal-line technology had proposals to deliver a similar product for the GAA knocked back.

Hawk-Eye, who have been in negotiations with the GAA to trial the system in Croke Park this year, have had their starting date delayed until they are convinced it stands up to wind conditions.

The trial period has been postponed and while the GAA is hoping to trial it in August at Croke Park, the Irish Examiner understands it may be not be ready until June next year.
