League coverage suffers as RTÉ cuts hit hard

RTÉ last night admitted the “current financial climate” is impacting on its highlights coverage of the Allianz Leagues.

GAA fans took to Twitter yesterday to slam the content of the station’s League Sunday programme at the weekend with many expressing surprise the clash of All-Ireland finalists Kerry and All-Ireland semi-finalists Donegal, along with the meeting of Mayo and Down, failed to make the cut on the show.

The show featured highlights from four games, all of which had been carried live by Setanta and TG4, companies which have live TV broadcast rights to the Allianz Leagues.
