Irish-language commentary option for All-Ireland Finals
31 August 2016: RT s Irish-language commentary service for the All-Ireland hurling and football finals is available on more platforms than ever before, with eir joining Saorview and Sky in providing the option just in time for the hurling final.
Launching the service in Croke Park with RT 's commentator, Garry Mac Donncha, GAA President, Aog n Fearghail said: I welcome RT 's innovative approach to the Irish language in providing a choice between English and Irish commentary. The Irish language is a central part of the GAA's identity and it is heartening to see the sport and the language brought together in this manner.
Garry Mac Donncha will be joined in the commentary position on Sunday by former captain of the 1985 Offaly All-Ireland winning team. Pat Fleury. Kerryman and All-Ireland football winning captain, Dara Cinn ide, will lend his expertise and analysis for the Dublin v Mayo All-Ireland final on September 18.
As well as being available on more platforms than ever, this year sees the dual-language commentary option being provided for more matches than ever before, with RT One viewers on Saorview, Sky and eir being able to access Irish-language commentary for the final six matches in the All-Ireland series in both codes.
Details on how to access the Irish-language commentary service are outlined below.
R n n Mac Con Iomaire, Group Head Irish Language, RT said: The dual-language commentary choice has been extremely well received, and building on last year's pilot commentary for the All-Ireland finals has worked well. Along with being able to roll this out for Ireland's Euro 2016 soccer matches, bringing in an additional four GAA matches this year is further evidence of RT 's commitment to Irish-language broadcasting, in light of the publication of our Irish-language action plan.
