The shared island is one of the priorities of this Government and is something we wish to see promoted. However, I receive negative reports from people north of the Border who find themselves geo-blocked from content on the player or access to GAA content. In negotiations with international providers, does RTÉ seek to have an all-island usage? With regard to sporting organisations, does RTÉ seek to provide that coverage on an all-island basis? It does not seem consistent with what is otherwise a very all-Ireland based approach by the broadcaster.
