Officials escape spotlight in RTÉ’s new era of coverage

When the GAA signed a broadcasting deal with Sky Sports, it was argued that the competition would force RTÉ to improve the standard of their coverage.

Judging by RTÉ’s performance on Sunday, that theory has only proved to be partially true.

There is no doubt that RTÉ has improved its game. Before Sky entered the fold, RTÉ had stopped sending their analysts to the games.
