  1. A little over 1 percent of the population.

    Vast majority most likely being Republicans up North and people living/working in the UK from Ireland or with Irish roots.

    Really not that impressive lads.

  2. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen the cameras go out into the stand and get a POV of the spectators.

    Better than the RTE coverage where it’s always about the presenters and not the event.

  3. I found it to be a far more relaxed presentation, and absolutely more welcoming for fans who are not clued in with all elements of the game, or who follow at the later stages. I would absolutely watch it again.

    The celeb pundit piece was funny and refreshing.

  4. I was having a quiet Sunday cleaning the house and like to have some sport on the TV whilst I do it, so I put it on.

    Thoroughly enjoyed it. I was vaguely familiar with the rules of the game (Irish mother) but still found the coverage helped to explain the nitty-gritty in a way that was helpful for first time viewers. Would watch again!
