Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Declan McBennett:
Yes. The first concerns double taxation. In other words, it is being said that people are paying for the TV licence and therefore should not have to pay for games. The second charge is that RTÉ and the GAA are in some way complicit in putting particular games behind the paywall as a means of driving subscription, while the third is that there is a direct conflict of interest in terms of my role, or the roles, within RTÉ and GAAGO. Those are the three issues.
