Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

The Kerry senior football team is to play Tyrone at 3.30 p.m. on Saturday in the quarter final of the football championship. However, thousands of supporters in Kerry who have paid their licence fee will not be able to watch this match on RTÉ. They will have to pay for GAAGO, if they can master the technology, and watch it on that. It has been pointed out to me that Dee Forbes, the former director general of RTÉ, was also a director of GAAGO. They are asking if there was a conflict of interests in this regard. If there are to be new appointments, I am asking that other people be appointed. I say to the Taoiseach that people who pay their television licence fee should be able to watch these matches on RTÉ.
