Short answer, no, but I beleive that setanta will soon make broadband PPV available for the GAA sports. Check out the setanta sports thread in the sports section of the forum.

Edit: Just had an email from Setanta with the address for the ppv enclosed :) Its 9.95 per game, but if you want your GAA, well I guess you might be ready to pay. :)


You can see the address in the sticky at the top of ths forum!!
But what shall it profit a people if they satisfy all material desires, but leave for their children nothing, only a wasteland.

When you leave Dublin airport, look closely, as that is the last flying pig you're going to see in a long time..

As Jussi said, you can get Setanta - otherwise its "learn to love ice hockey" ;)

Some day I need to get a better definition of this vast expanse named Nowheremäki. Something to do with this 3rd-ring stuff? :wink:

I think the American equivalent is "Onehorston".

The flying pig seems to have disappeared, it wasn't there when I passed
through Dublin airport last week, nor the week before that, maybe it's
migrating over to Finland for the winter months?

His name is Muc (Gaelic for pig, very creative!) and he's owned by
the Irish Hospice Foundation. Maybe they were lacking funding and decided
churn poor Muc into scrap metal, you could always ask them.
