RTE’s group head of sport has said any profits made on GAAGO is used to broadcast more football and hurling matches for free.
Declan McBennett, who is also a director of GAAGO, said that he does not accept the argument that has been made that people who are paying for the licence fee should not have to pay a second fee to watch more games.
Mr McBennett also denied the assertion that the top GAA clashes were being “cherrypicked” to be put behind a paywall in order to drive subscriptions and profits.
