GAAGO is under investigation by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) for breaches and expansions of its broadcasting activities.

The consumer watchdog told the Irish Examiner that an enquiry into the RTÉ and GAA joint venture has been launched after it became clear that it did not have the appropriate approval to operate a domestic pay-per-view service.
