It does not often happen but as someone who has more than a passing interest in sport and the media, I want to congratulate the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources on an initiative that worked from the time he took it on last year to its eventual fruition yesterday when the Football Association of Ireland concluded an agreement with RTE, the State broadcaster, for the provision of free to air international football matches. This is the first fruits of the legislation that came through this House, initiated by the Minister. The former Taoiseach, Charlie Haughey, once said he will probably not be remembered for bringing down the rate of inflation but he will be remembered for other matters.
