Council chiefs rejected live TV coverage on the basis that it would affect the attendance in Killarney’s Fitzgerald Stadium.

The decision has forced TG4 into an eleventh hour change of a live match. They will now feature the Leinster football semi-final in Newbridge between Rathnew and Dunshaughlin with highlights of the game in Fitzgerald Stadium to be featured on the Monday evening sports programme, Ard san Aer.
