Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Evanne Ní Chuilinn (Fine Gael)

Mr. Quinn spoke earlier about the importance of the camogie quarterfinals, for example, being on the television. I think he will agree that if it was just hurling quarter finals onwards on the television, there would be absolute war. It is important to have a look at it. This is a genuine opportunity to reinvent the wheel when it comes to sports broadcasting. Mr. Quinn addressed the visibility piece. He mentioned he has daughters and it is important for them to see these girls on television. If that is the case, it is important to put your money where your mouth is and to make sure we are broadcasting camogie and ladies football on GAA+. We have been told that when integration happens, it will still be the GAA. It will be GAA+ all encompassing for both men and women.
