Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion
Mr. Jonathan Hill:
I can answer in ten seconds, if you like. There is a very simple answer. It is not the FAI that negotiates those rights. It is UEFA or FIFA as regards a tournament. FIFA negotiated the rights for the Women's World Cup directly with RTÉ. UEFA does the same for the men's senior team rights for qualification matches for either UEFA or FIFA qualifying tournaments.
