MLA meets with RTE over GAA coverage issues

Concerns over coverage and broadcast availability of RTE programmes in the north have been raised at a meeting with the  network last week.

Newry and Armagh MLA, Justin McNulty commented “I have had a number of constituents contact me who are frustrated by the lack of GAA coverage in the North. I also raised concerns around connectivity to the RTÉ player which many households cannot access at present.

“The RTÉ representatives were familiar with the issues and gave us assurances that they will continue to pursue the best solutions to ensure those in the North have equal access to the broadcaster."

Mr McNulty added “In addition, I have also sought a meeting with Ofcom and the GAA regarding broadcasting rights to games.”
