The issue is that the State broadcaster, RTE, is refusing to give the people of Ireland information on our national games. It is the national broadcaster which is subsidised by taxpayers, yet for three years in a row it has tried to prevent ordinary people from finding out what is happening in our national games. That is surely an issue for this House to discuss. I contacted the GAA about it on two other occasions. I was told by the head of sport that it was not possible to show the results of 64 county finals in a television broadcast. There were only 15 games last Sunday and the ordinary people of Ireland who follow the GAA were told to look at the GAA and RTE websites for information.
