Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said that he is against “putting great moments of sport behind a paywall” as the row over the GAAGO app continues.
It comes as the Oireachtas Media Committee is due to haul RTÉ and the GAA into Leinster House to answer questions about the ongoing controversy.
There has been widespread anger in recent days over the decision to air the Munster hurling championship matches between Cork and Tipperary and Clare and Limerick on the GAAGO app rather than on television. A subscription for the app costs €79 a year or €12 for a match. RTÉ has argued that they cannot televise all matches.
