The proposed deal between the GAA and Sky has sparked the kind of frenzied debate in which the GAA has traditionally specialised. The story moved along today with the news that Paddy Power has suspended betting on Rachel Wyse fronting Sky's coverage. The majority of players have kept their counsel on the move but some have voiced their opinions.

Tommy Walsh was the first out of the blocks to express his opposition to move.

His sentiments were supported by the likes of Crossmaglen Rangers' Aaron Cunningham.

His former teammate Darran O'Sullivan, however, essentially endorsed the Sky deal, expressing in the process his admiration for their promotion of the sport of darts.
