RTÉ has responded to what it said were "inaccurate and misleading claims" about its coverage of the Tokyo Olympics by stressing it had the rights to broadcast the Games in the Republic only.
The reply came amid reports that some viewers in the North had complained that they were unable to watch the action from Tokyo on RTÉ.
