Ahern sounds warning over Sky football deal
Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today signalled his intent to take legal action, if necessary, to keep live coverage of Ireland’s home international soccer matches on terrestrial TV.
Mr Ahern, a football fan, sounded his warning after a meeting yesterday with the Football Association of Ireland, who last week controversially signed a multi-million pound deal giving exclusive screening rights for the games involved to Sky TV.
