Ahern condemns FAI's deal with Sky

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern yesterday condemned FAI's decision to sell sole broadcast rights for home soccer internationals to Sky Television.

Mr Ahern said he had asked Communications Minister Dermot Ahern and Sports Minister John O'Donoghue to look into the issue.

But he added that it was difficult to give special consideration to an entire competition rather than specific games like the GAA All Ireland finals.
