The Taoiseach said he agreed with the Tánaiste that the decision to broadcast GAA championship games on a pay-per-view basis such as GAAGO needs to be reviewed. Does the Taoiseach also agree with the Tánaiste that all these games should be free to air? What proposals does the Government have for engagement with the GAA and other stakeholders? I understand the Minister of State with responsibility for sport is having a necessary meeting with sporting organisations about conduct, ongoing violence against officials and dealing with racism. All this is very necessary. Will the Minister of State also have an engagement with the GAA and later with RTÉ and all the necessary stakeholders to reach a solution?

As Dónal Óg Cusack said, we need to provide oxygen, particularly for hurling. Liam O'Neill said, as the Taoiseach noted, better choices need to be made.
