The GAA will take steps towards introducing video technology in their games when they meet with Hawk-Eye Innovations representatives tomorrow.

Hawk-Eye claims to be the "most sophisticated officiating tool used in any sport". A ball-tracking device, it has been used in tennis and cricket, and is currently in operation at the US Tennis Open at Flushing Meadows.

Hawk-Eye staff will give a presentation to members of the GAA's research committee tomorrow on how their equipment can end controversial calls in major football and hurling matches.

Research committee secretary Pat Daly said the committee hopes to put forward a proposal next year to tackle disputed refereeing decisions.

"It would be fair to say we would hope to have a proposal ready for next year," he told the Irish Sun.

"They (Hawk-Eye) will give a presentation on Wednesday, we'll see from there." Tweet
