There were multiple, tantalising All-Ireland SFC clashes this afternoon and evening, yet none were shown or are being shown on terrestrial television in Ireland.
And just two are streaming on the official streaming service, GAA+; Louth vs Monaghan and Donegal vs Tyrone.
A further kick in the teeth is that RTÉ's main game today was the Champions Cup final, featuring Northampton and Bordeaux, taking precedence over the national sport.

"GAAGO was established by RTÉ and the GAA in 2014 as an innovative service to enable Gaelic games supporters around the world to access our national games.

"I would like to wish the GAA continued success with the service.
"RTÉ looks forward to continuing our successful collaboration with the GAA on delivering free-to-air Gaelic games to audiences all year round."

Any final agreement will be subject to the necessary consents and approvals being in place.
