Obviously, this was sparked by one high-profile hurling match. Is it a case of what RTÉ is contracted to do being the issue? RTÉ is contracted to cover poor events TV-wise, such as maybe a poor Connacht final or a poor Munster final. Let us call a spade a spade. I am the most loyal GAA man ever but I turn both matches off. Would RTÉ prefer to be released from that contractual aspect in order that it would be able to give the punters what they want and not show the finals it is contracted to cover.
