I thank the Cathaoirleach for the latitude. I highlight the lack of coverage of League of Ireland football. In RTÉ's plans, there are 1,000 hours of sport and 44 hours are of League of Ireland. It is incumbent on RTÉ as a public service broadcaster to promote the domestic game and international games. Leave some other media outlets to look at Turkish, English, French and Spanish teams. It is important that we promote League of Ireland football. It is in a really good place at the moment. Right now is a good time. Some 44 hours for League of Ireland out of 1,000 hours of sport is pretty abysmal. Could that be looked at? The Minister might mention that to RTÉ next time she meets it. I thank the Chair.
