Imelda Munster: Right. Were negotiations entered into?

Imelda Munster: When GAAGO was first initiated, the CCPC had cleared its establishment. At the time, it did so on the basis that the organisation would be broadcasting outside Ireland. Since then, it has changed to broadcasting within the island of Ireland. Did the CCPC clear that change?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: With the GAA and RTÉ. Have the representatives a record of that change?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: So, is Mr. McKenna saying the GAA is in discussions with the CCPC and that there has not been clearance as yet?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: I thought that might be the case. Could I have a figure for the number tuning in to GAAGO? How does it compare with RTÉ figures? Is there a breakdown of figures for both diaspora viewing and domestic viewing? My colleague was asking Mr. Hill about the broadcasting rights and how people in the North are directly affected in this regard. He asked whether Mr. Hill would correspond...

Imelda Munster: Could Mr. Hill liaise with the committee here because it is understandably a bone of contention for people up north?

Imelda Munster: Does Mr. Ryan have the comparison with RTÉ figures?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: How different?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: That would be the free-to-access, obviously.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: On a point of clarification, did Mr. McKenna say the number of free-to-air games is actually far less?

Imelda Munster: During the first session, I raised an issue with the commercial director of the GAA. Virgin Media issued a statement to say that it was never approached regarding air time when the Sky contract was terminated. The GAA disputed that and said there were negotiations but there was no agreement. Does Mr. Farrell wish to respond to that?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: I just wanted to give Mr. Farrell the opportunity to clarify that. I raised with Tom Ryan and the commercial director of the GAA the matter of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC, having first given clearance for GAAGO on the basis that it involved subscriptions for people living outside Ireland - the diaspora. Under the new system, games are being put behind a paywall...

Imelda Munster: It has been updated, but the CCPC initially gave clearance on the basis of it being for the diaspora.

Imelda Munster: The commercial director of the GAA said that clearance had not been received in respect of the system RTÉ is operating. He said there are negotiations.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: Factually, as it is stands at the minute, RTÉ is operating that system without clearance from the CCPC.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: So RTÉ is operating without clearance. It is easy to say "Yes".
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: But the RTÉ has not got clearance. That is my question.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Imelda Munster: It is operating without clearance.
