I just wanted to give Mr. Farrell the opportunity to clarify that. I raised with Tom Ryan and the commercial director of the GAA the matter of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC, having first given clearance for GAAGO on the basis that it involved subscriptions for people living outside Ireland - the diaspora. Under the new system, games are being put behind a paywall that are games on the island of Ireland. I asked whether the CCPC given clearance for that and they said they had not got clearance.
Is Mr. McBennett telling us that the new system whereby RTÉ is putting games that are played within Ireland behind a paywall is being operated without clearance from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC?
