RTÉ and GPA reach compromise on product placement

RTÉ and the GPA have reached a compromise over the contentious issue of product placement.

A number of intercounty squads had refused to grant interviews to the broadcaster after Donnybrook bosses banned players drinking Club Energise, a GPA sponsor, during post match interviews.

RTÉ maintained that they were legally bound to prevent such “surreptitious advertising” and the two parties have been in talks for the past fortnight in an effort to resolve the issue.
