Ms Dee Forbes:

Typically, if those households had televisions, particularly for sports events, we would imagine that they would watch it on the big screen. Those people, however, are watching through the RTÉ Player on a laptop or mobile device, generally. This whole area of the non-television homes has been exacerbated by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Many younger people, especially, are not buying televisions. They are using their laptops, desktop computers or mobile devices as their viewing mechanisms.
