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.

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

"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 - we know people are excluding themselves because of that, they just don't go because they can't work it out otherwise.

"Similarily with this - it's not just some matches, there are a lot of major matches now that would have been on television as they would have been seen as major matches are no longer available - they're now on GAA Go."
