The Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, is responsible for media. She is doing some work on the list of fixtures that are free to air. It is not decided yet but she should be able to conclude it in the next couple of weeks. As I mentioned earlier, what the former uachtaráin of Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Liam O’Neill, said to me this morning made a lot of sense. Yes, it would be great if all matches could be free to air, but when there are 15 major matches every weekend, and that is just GAA never mind all the other sports, it is probably not practical for everything to be free to air. Therefore we should try to identify the main matches or fixtures and make sure that they are the ones on RTÉ and TG4 and then allow GAAGO and other means to be used for those matches that would otherwise not be televised. That may be where the solution lies.
