Croker chiefs to probe Harte’s television blackout claims

CROKE PARK bosses are set to investigate claims from Tyrone boss Mickey Harte that the county may refuse to allow their games be televised as the row over retrospective disciplinary action intensifies.

Broadcasters TG4 and Setanta were remaining tightlipped last night and declined to comment when contacted on the matter.

However industry experts point out that the companies’ deals to show games in the national hurling and football league is with the GAA — and not with any individual county board.
