Declan McBennett, Group Head of Sport, RT , said: The sense of championship' remains unique in the Irish sporting psyche. Whether it's to Clones, Semple, the Hyde or ultimately Croke Park dreams are made and crushed in the heat of a Championship battle. RT remains uniquely privileged to capture and transmit those moments across our platforms and as with each passing year we hope for a dynamic thrilling and enthralling spectacle across all codes.
