Mr. Hill's opening statement referred to the scenario of, in the first instance, working with the free-to-air games that the FAI has with RTÉ and Virgin Media, but then also exploring a second broadcast partner with the ability to show more live games. He said this would be a specialist, sports-focused broadcaster such as Sky Sports or Premier Sports. Has the FAI approached Sky with regard to looking at broadcasting with them? We have seen the deal where Northern Ireland Football League Premiership matches are broadcast live on Sky.
