Tyrone footballers to continue RTÉ boycott

Tyrone’s footballers will boycott RTÉ for the third Championship in succession this summer.

At last night’s Ulster SFC launch in Belfast, manager Mickey Harte confirmed there had been no change in the panel’s attitude to the national broadcaster.

Tyrone’s refusal to grant interviews to RTÉ stems back to a John Murray Show sketch in 2011, which the county set-up felt was insensitive to Harte and his family following the tragic death of his daughter Michaela.
