Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I regret that the FAI has lost a certain amount of cash due to the quashing of its contract with Sky, but that will be made up for in some measure by the contribution of RTE. Equally, I have no doubt that, when match time comes around, a great deal of goodwill will accrue to the organisation by reason of the availability of widespread television coverage. This goodwill is sometimes more valuable than cash and that is the case in respect of the designated events.
