Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The main sporting organisations stayed away from the forum, at which the Minister said it was quite possible that designation would be applied retrospectively, which it has been. He would not comment on whether it could be the subject of a legal challenge, which was understandable. Is he confident that the FAI, which has entered into a contractual arrangement with Sky Sports, can walk away from this project and will not seek legal compensation from the State? It is unclear whether it can.
