€13.3m is the total media-rights revenue reported by the GAA for 2024, not €13.3m from one broadcaster. The GAA's accounts explicitly say "Media revenues at €13.3m".
But there is an important distinction: the GAA does not publicly break that €13.3m down into an exact RTÉ €X / TG4 €X / BBC €X / radio €X table.
What we can establish is:
Source What we know
RTÉ Major component, but exact payment isn't publicly disclosed
TG4 Major component, exact figure not disclosed
BBC Rights payment, exact figure not disclosed
RTÉ Radio / Raidió na Gaeltachta National radio rights
BBC Radio Ulster Radio rights
Other radio partners Today FM, Newstalk/local radio arrangements
GAAGO Included within the GAA's overall broadcast/media income
Total media revenue €13.27m
The GAA's 2023-27 rights agreement covers all of those television, streaming and radio arrangements.
But GAAGO is particularly interesting
GAAGO itself generated €5.74m of revenue in 2024, including €5.3m subscriptions and €285k sponsorship.
That doesn't mean €5.74m goes into the GAA's €13.3m media-rights figure - GAAGO is a separate company/accounting structure, and the GAA only owned 50% during 2024. The GAA subsequently bought RTÉ's half and took full ownership in 2025.
There is actually a very useful piece of evidence from an Oireachtas committee in 2025. A GAA representative indicated that commercial media rights were roughly 15% of total GAA revenue, with approximately 10% coming from the traditional public-service broadcasters and about 5% from GAAGO.
€13.3m is the GAA's reported 2024 media-rights revenue. We know who the rights partners are, but the GAA doesn't publish the individual amounts each broadcaster pays.
The GAA announced the takeover in February 2025, but the final financial completion of the purchase was February 2026.
What does that mean for the accounts?
The 2024 GAA accounts obviously don't include GAA+ as a wholly GAA-owned business.
The 2025 accounts should contain the first year of GAA+ activity, because GAA+ was operating during the 2025 championship. However, the exact accounting treatment matters because RTÉ's 50% ownership wasn't financially completed until February 2026.
The 2026 accounts will be the really clean comparison: GAA+ is entirely owned by the GAA, and RTÉ has received its €3m
So the GAA is getting 13.3 from all media in Ireland which is very little.
GAA+ brought in 5.7m. rte and gaa got €2.87m each.
The GAA 3m deal to buy out the rte half of GAA+ it will mean close to 20m for media.

Michael Ennis doing some job with Ballinagore, not often a side from junior wins 2 out of first 3 games in intermediate, huge win over Rosemount today, group wide open with Ballymore leading on 6 points and the bridge, Rosemount and Ballinagore on 4. Ballinagore were playing junior 2 two years ago, now one win away from Section A in intermediate. Rosemount had David O' Reilly back too.

Replying To Seanfan: "Players are amateurs so free agents to go where they will.
If the International games were still running the GAA might be able to persuade the AFL to make some kind of voluntary contributions." I think its great the players have a chance to play Aussie rules. I didnt know most of the GAA funding goes into coaching so i never understood the problem. I thought most the money was going back into the grass roots facilities but its seems only 5million does. If the GAA is putting so much much into coaching and the elite end up in Australia I cant understand the difficult position the GAA are in. A player like Kobe is the type of returns on big investment the GAA is hoping for because he brings in millions to the GAA throughout a career. The players are right to leave imo

Replying To Seniorleague: "Sure but just out of curiosity do you think they should be allowed to change clubs,if its what they want?" Check the rules in the T.O.
I suspect my opinion isn't mentioned!

Replying To gaelsboy: "If you have a shot of making it to the big time, it makes perfect sense to concentrate on that sport. You can always come back to gaa if it doesn't work out, have heard of a few clubs getting top notch keepers on board as they didn't quite make the cut in pro soccer, and intermediate/ junior soccer teams tend to have little support or backing so senior gaa with a shot of the county panel is more appealing.
I simply don't get the hate against players choosing to pursue an afl career or the clubs that recruit them, it smacks of the same people who never left their home town and are spiteful of those who did" You hit it right on the head.

Imagine Killucan delegated getting this brutal new championship format in to benefit themselves to make the playoffs and still not being able to do so. Should campaign that 4 teams from section B get in next year, joke-shop.
Both Castledaly and Multy in Inter A have two games left and basically nothing to play for, i'm sure they're are other teams in the same boat too.

Replying To farneyarmy26: "Truagh get the points, apparently the county board couldn't find a written rule that Truagh had broken..." I'm told the lads in question didn't play on saturday against currin so if no rules were broken why did they not play on Saturday having played the previous week……..the whole thing is farcical….
Took myself to inniskeen corduff on Saturday, it was literally men against boys…not hard to see why certain quarters were pushing so hard for senior to be extended to 12 teams………… inniskeen moving well and clearly the 2nd best team in the county..
