Unless you're accusing the FAI of sometimes not being entirely truthful just so they come across in a good light?

It's E3m "indirectly" though isn't it? In that, the FAI reduced their asking price in exchange for a weekly prime time highlights show.
Not that it makes any difference but just wanted to clarify.
It's €4m over the course of the contact. Don't know how long the contract is for, though.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
The FAI agreed that RTE could reduce their "offer" by 3 million in return for MNS.
It met with stern resistance from RTE but they agreed.
It is still the equivalent of 3 million euro in cash that the FAI have to forego to allow a highlights programme on RTE.
Now I enjoy MNS and it is normally the only programme I watch on RTE these days. I can live with the lack of first division coverage but it is a bit much RTE claiming they are committed to domestic football when they would clearly rather not show it.
No doubt the English FA have to pay RTE to show the premiership on saturday nights too.
Presumably they'll say the extra advertising revenue during the show means it pays for itself.
