[113031]
- Answer
-
The Good Friday Agreement from 1998 and the subsequent Memorandum of Understanding of February 2010 do not make specific provisions for coverage of televised sporting events to be made available in Northern Ireland. It is at the discretion of individual sports associations and the rights holders, as to how they sell their properties by jurisdiction and by broadcast platform.
