SETANTA HAVE SIGNED several new GAA pundits for the 2015 league season drawing on managers who stepped down after last year’s championship along with four recently retired players.

Setanta launched their 2015 GAA league coverage today in Belfast with the announcement that 17 games will be broadcast in the coming weeks – 12 football and 5 hurling.
