"Last week RTÉ Sport extended the same invitation to Tyrone GAA that it has to Dublin GAA, and all previous All Ireland finalists with regard to participation in RTÉ coverage across television, radio and digital platforms. This included pre-match, day of match at Croke Park, and post match interviews. Tyrone GAA have informed RTÉ Sport that the Tyrone management and players do not wish to participate in any such media activity with RTÉ and we respect that decision. RTÉ Sport will now continue with its planning and preparation and we wish both Tyrone GAA and Dublin GAA the very best of luck in the final."The on-going impasse throws up a lot of complications for RTE. Prior to the All-Ireland final, 'Up for the Match' is normally televised and hosts an array of characters from the two participating counties, including former stars and parents of current players.

It also complicates things if Tyrone are to beat Dublin, in that case, RTE will have to scrap plans to broadcast live from the winners hotel on the evening of the final. Tyrone GAA have declined to comment at this time, but a spokesperson for the county has informed SportsJOE that they expect to address the matter later in the week.
