Ms Forbes alluded to the Virgin Media deal struck in the past week, and it is good to see two broadcasters coming together, but is that model something she has considered? The Sky deal on the GAA ran from 2017 to 2022. That deal was criticised and the GAA was heavily criticised. The GAA has a financial model it has to fulfil. Politicians like to get up and kick the GAA in the Dáil, Seanad and at this committee. Is that a scenario whereby RTÉ could work with Virgin Media, which has previously had the GAA rights, and squeeze Sky off the pitch to secure complete free to air for GAA domestic games in Ireland?
