Minister criticises Sky soccer deal
Communications Minister Dermot Ahern says the decision to sell soccer rights to Sky means many Irish soccer fans won't be able to watch their national side play live on TV.
Mr Ahern says he's "disappointed" with a move by the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) to sell the rights to live home games to Sky instead of to the national broadcaster RTE.
