To summarise.
-Sky pulled out.
-GAA didn't go to the market for a free to air option.
-Instead they decided to stream huge games on GAAGO behind a pay wall.
-RTE has a 50% stake in GAAGO who really should be a rival broadcaster.
-Dee Forbes and Declan McBennett are directors of GAAGO.
-They signed a 5 year contract
Good news for mortgage holders,1.95% -3,5 or 7 year fixed available from AvantMoney for up to 60% loan to value.2.1% for 70% & 2.2% for 80% 3 or 5 yr fixed.
Still very much Ja the man.

They need to deal with this differently to trackers and arrears problems of the past.
Last thing people need right now is some faceless individuals in a restructuring section of the bank playing hardball or acting the bollocks.
Solidarity,Empathy and cop on required in large size
Gov’t, banks & Central Bank should ensure that interest not be charged during the period of payment break on loans during #COVID19. Otherwise, borrowers will have increased repayments when this crisis passes - even with loan term extension @fiannafailparty

The banks meet @Paschald today and will promise to help people impacted by covid-19. It's needed. But if you or anyone close to you finds a bank being difficult as this progresses, contact me and I'll do what I can to help and to hold them to their promise. That is my promise.
See a lot of tweets about school, worry about lessons. Right now, we are living history. Let the kids be to take it in, in a minded way. Lots of kids are over-scheduled. Constant ferrying to and from activities. Maybe now they can do nothing, daydream. Just be. #coronavirus
@MarkHennessy It’s long term and politics is short term .Would be supported hugely by 90% of population....UK doing it with HS2.
We will probably do a half ass version in 2065
Mainstream media need to push these ideas for projects on to the agenda
Investment funds bought 95% of 3,644 apartments completed last year - while a couple on a joint income of €94,000 would not be able to afford the €386,000 average cost of a home in Dublin.....no joined up policy
This is nuts. This is only a 13 storey building. It is in a location that suits height with a blue chip tenant and quality design. Who would want to build in Dublin?https://t.co/frqeWbDCfT
