Dublin pledge to amend ‘badly written’ TV rights motion

Dublin chairman Sean Shanley has admitted their motion to make all televised championship games free-to-air is “badly-worded” and they will look to amend it at Congress on Saturday.

In yesterday’s Irish Examiner, Galway secretary John Hynes highlighted an anomaly in the motion as it stands: “What is the implication if every game is to be televised free-to-air live? It would be criminal. If it is free-to-air in Ireland, we will support it.”

Shanley said it was always Dublin’s belief the rule should apply to Ireland only and they will seek to amend it to that effect prior to it being debated and voting on Saturday.
