Eir Sport may target Dublin

Eir Sport are likely to target the Dublin senior football championship after securing rights to screen club championship games.

TG4 will continue to have first and second choice pick of games but, from May, and for the next five years, Eir will be entitled to the next best two fixtures if the televised games don’t clash with TG4’s pair.

That is likely to mean Eir will look at weekday and Saturday championship games and competitions like the Dublin SFC and the Galway SHC are believed to be in their sights.
