Mr. Declan McBennett:

We started WatchLOI. The initiative came from two conversations involving Mr. Peter McKenna, when we were about to lay off staff in GAAGO because of Covid. Mr. Niall Quinn was the acting CEO of the FAI at the time. The FAI could not broadcast games. The initiative came from RTÉ sport. I brought it to my superiors in RTÉ. It was then brought to the GAA and that is how 166 games went out on WatchLOI which was, as many Deputies will know, the forerunner to LOITV. We have done it with soccer and the FAI has now decided to do it for itself.
