The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is remaining tight-lipped on its correspondence with the GAA that has prompted Croke Park to seek expressions of interest for the package of games belonging to GAAGO for the next three years.

The GAA, on Tuesday morning, went to tender for those media rights two years into the five-year agreement it struck with GAAGO in late 2022.
