Beale GAA have been successful in putting forward a motion to GAA National Congress. Beale have sought that GAA games be covered by free-to-air channels, bringing coverage of our national games back into our homes. Such was the response to the motion that it hit the national airwaves during the past
76
week, airing on Morning Ireland and on Kerry Radio, together with rte,ie. The following is an excerpt from rte.ie:
“A motion from Kerry will go before next year’s GAA Annual Convention aimed at returning all live broadcast Championship matches to free-to-air television. Croke Park took the decision two years ago to sell rights for live hurling and football games to Sky Sports, opening up the market to satellite broadcasters for the first time. Sky have broadcast games from the past two Championships, including All-Ireland quarter-finals, but many GAA fans have hit out at the move. On Monday night the Kerry County Board passed a motion calling on all games to be kept on free-to-air, non-subscription stations. The motion put forward by the Beale club and presented by Maurice Mannix reads: “At the conclusion of the current TV broadcast rights contract, that all televised games be available on free to air TV.” That contract comes to an end following the conclusion of the 2016 season and the GAA will be under pressure from some quarters to freeze out Sky. “The feeling is strong on the ground over this,” explained Kerry County Board Chairman Patrick O’Sullivan, who presided over Monday night’s convention. “Not everyone is able to get to games and for those people, radio and television are their main way of staying in touch with what’s happening in the GAA. You have to see how people in some parts of the country look at this. On the western seaboard it’s very different to Dublin, where the economic upturn has been a lot faster. The decision to deal with Sky was taken when money was continuing to get a lot tighter for people." Kerry GAA chiefs first suggested that they bring the matter up with Croke Park’s ruling Management Committee for discussion. But such was the feeling among delegates, that a vote was taken and now the Beale motion will be discussed at Annual Congress in Carlow next February.” The AGM of Beale GAA Club will take place on Saturday, 16thJanuary, in Ballybunion Community Centre at 8.30pm. Nominations for officers of the club and motions for the AGM to be submitted to the Secretary by Jan 9th.
