It does not speak to a specific point in the letter and that is because I do not believe the letter addresses the specific point I raised regarding geo-tagging content in the North of Ireland where it is not possible for people to access certain content through the RTÉ Player. This can often include really important cultural events like GAA matches and entertainment content. Justin McNulty, MLA, raised it with me, which is why I asked RTÉ the question at the time. I would like RTÉ to come back to us on this matter. I notice that the GAA negotiated all-Ireland rights in a recent contract with RTÉ. The difficulty is the technology will not allow it to be viewed because of issues around IP addresses and geo-tagging or whatever the correct term is. It is not dealt with in the letter and I would like us to get more responses on it.
