Write a commentMLA Sinéad Ennis has reiterated calls for the BBC to introduce a highlights programme of Club championship games here in the north.
The Culture, Arts and Sport spokesperson for Sinn Fein said “Gaelic games is the largest spectator sport in the north of Ireland but continues to be ignored when it comes to TV coverage.
“There is a massive energy and enthusiasm surrounding GAA club championship games with large crowds turning out to watch the games.
“However, this momentum is matched with frustration among GAA fans at what they feel is decades of neglect by BBC in terms of televising and mainstreaming Gaelic games.
Ms Ennis feels the BBC can do more to ensure there is equal access to GAA coveragen “As club championships reach the final stage and the Ulster championships begin we are calling on the BBC increase investment and coverage of Gaelic games.”
