In order to further enhance the consultation process, an on-line forum was established on my Department's website and I hosted a public meeting held in Dublin Castle on 26 August 2002. That meeting was addressed by RTE, the Irish Sports Council and myself. The IRFU, the FAI and the GAA were invited to make presentations at the meeting but they declined the invitation to speak or attend. I had further meetings with the FAI, the IRFU, the GAA and the Irish Sports Council on 28 August 2002. Having concluded the consultation process I then proceeded to finalise the list. As required, I also sought the opinion of the EU Contact Committee established under Article 3a of the Television Without Frontiers Directive.
