[QUOTE="net1, post: 21241"] Sky and RTÉ have both secured a deal to broadcast the Republic of Ireland's football games. Sky had originally agreed to pay £5.5 million for exclusive broadcast rights, but was forced into a joint deal after a court challenge from the national broadcaster RTÉ. Under the new contract, which will see the pair pay around £1.6 million to the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), Sky will retain exclusive rights to senior and under-21 friendly games but will share flagship matches with RTÉ. Niall Cogley, head of sport at RTÉ, said: "It’s been a difficult time for everyone involved, including Sky who entered a straightforward deal only to be hit with new legislation." TV3 is expected to pay £1 million for a highlights package. [/QUOTE]
