Pól O’Gallchóir, Ceannasaí TG4, said, “It has been another historic and ground-breaking year for the partnership between TG4 and Cumann Peil Gael na mBan. We got off to a great start with the memorable All Star trip to San Francisco and then the football season began in earnest in Spring. We witnessed many thrilling finishes during the year, two of them on All-Ireland Final day with those present in Croke Park and TG4 viewers all on the edge of their seats right till the final hooter.”
