RTÉ group head of sport Declan McBennett has refuted claims that high-profile Munster senior hurling championship games were shown on GAAGO to increase subscribers.

Three of the stellar games in the competition so far – Clare v Tipperary, Limerick v Clare and Cork v Tipperary – have been streamed on the joint GAA-RTÉ owned platform, while RTÉ has shown Cork v Waterford and Limerick v Waterford.
