GAAGO,Pay Per View,Simon Harris

The Munster Senior Hurling championship game between Cork and Limerick is to be shown on the pay per view service.

TAOISEACH SIMON HARRIS has said that he fully supports the call by Senator Tim Lombard that GAA President Jarlath Burns comes before the Seanad to hear of concerns about the the number of hurling games being shown on GAA GO.

Speaking during a visit to Corrin Mart in Fermoy Co Cork, Harris described the GAA as an “incredible organisation”. However, he warned that they need to listen to the “grassroots” when it comes to the issue of pay walls for big matches. “My colleague Senator Tim Lombard, who is here with me, has asked that the GAA would come in to the Oireachtas and I think that is entirely appropriate. And that they tease through and discuss this issue.”“Communities right across Ireland do but they have gotten this wrong. So many people tomorrow will want to watch that Munster final. And it being behind a paywall isn’t what people who support the GAA in every community want to see. They really need to reflect on that.
