EU set to approve 'free-to-air' sports list
The Government has moved a step closer to protecting the right to broadcasting sporting events of national importance on free-to-air terrestrial television.
The Minister for Communications Dermot Ahern has told the Dail he expects the list of designated events to be approved by the European Union tomorrow.
If it gets the thumbs up from Brussels it will allow the Minister to bring the list before the Dail to make it law.
