Ms Lisa Jacob:

I might add to that. As a recent past player, I spent two of my years living with the "nordies", as we call them. I must say that it was a fantastic experience. I spent most of my childhood watching bits about the Troubles. It is not until one lives with somebody that one gets to understand what one sees on television and somebody's real life. Regarding coming together with people from all over the country, each region has a unique nature and something it brings to an all-Ireland team. When the Deputy speaks about an all-Ireland team, for me, it is a huge strength and one I really enjoyed when I played. There is representation from everywhere on our board. We need different perspectives. They make things stronger. Mr. Pels might speak about TV rights. As far as I am aware, the International Hockey Federation has TV rights so it would have done deals with RTÉ. We do not have access to anything.
