I understand Sky did not cover all Heineken Cup games in 2006, but it did in 2007. On the percentage of households reached by RTE and pay-TV sports channels, 99% had RTE 1 and RTE 2, 25% had Setanta, 25% had Sky Sports 1, while 17% had Sky Sports 3. That is the scale involved. If it was within the capability of RTE, TV3 and TG4 to handle all of the games, would we be having this discussion?
