GAA chiefs to appear before Oireachtas Committee to explain Sky deal

GAA chiefs will appear before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport and Communications today to explain the reasoning behind awarding Sky Sports exclusive rights to some gaelic games for the next three years.

GAA President Liam O'Neill and the Association’s director-general Páraic Duffy will be asked to outline the benefits accruing from the television rights deal which has caused much debate since being announced earlier this month.
