Age Action Ireland says there's a 'creeping increase' in the amount of activities moving online, and older people are being excluded.

The advocacy group has hit out at the GAA, after another week of championship matches were broadcast on the streaming platform GAA Go.

In total this season, 40 games will be broadcast on the online service, including many high-profile games.

While some matches are free to watch, a season pass for the platform costs €79.

Nat O'Connor from Age Action Ireland says it's not fair on older people who aren't tech-savy:

"There's a creeping increase in the amount of things that are going online. People can't go to a regular match and pay cash and we know people are excluding themselves because of that. They just don't go because they're not able to figure it out otherwise."

"Similarly with this, it's not just some matches. It's a lot of major matches which would have been on television because they would have been seen as major matches, are no longer available because they're on the GAA Go."
