RTÉ's head of sport Declan McBennett says that the SSE Airtricity League's new streaming service should be given a “fair wind” before judgements are made on whether there is a large enough appetite for League of Ireland football on our screens.

The WatchLOI service has been put together by the FAI, RTÉ, and GAAGO, and the national broadcaster will have cameras and commentary teams at every game through to the season's end.
