One question relates to the sports policy consultation but the Minister has given a timeframe for the end of the year so that is okay.

The other question relates to television rights for Gaelic games that are not available on Irish television channels. People are either forced to go to the pub or to pay to view them. When I raised the issue previously, some lip-service was paid to it but could the Minister tell me whether there are any plans to rectify the situation because it is extremely annoying for many? It seems very unfair that the television rights are sold and that people have to leave the house to watch a big match. Has the Minister begun to examine how matters might be rectified?
