Even if they don't show live sport, I'm sure that they could have a weekly GAA round-up that would be worth watching. I pay Setanta for the live GAA coverage, so understand why they couldn't broadcast it FTA in the UK. Maybe they could so an 'S4C' and broadcast the matches in Gaelic. I might get on better with that then with the Welsh lessons! I really hope that RTE gets an EPG in the UK.

With an International TV mandate & soon to be service, international TV rights on things like sport may become very important to RTE. So when bidding for these rights RTÉ's relationship with sporting bodies with regard to sponsorship will become more important. <a href="http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/rtes-sponsorship-deal-with-gaa-a-scandal-1321917.html" rel="nofollow">RTÉ are sponsoring GAA this season</a>! if RTÉ never had an international TV service they would never have had to buy International TV rights.
