TG4 extends Galway Festival coverage

TG4 will extend its coverage of the Galway Festival this year to broadcast the final three days of racing exclusively live on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The Irish-speaking channel has provided a live programme of racing, betting news and tips, features and celebrity interviews on the Friday evening for the past few years, and this year will show a total of 21 races live over the three days.

TG4´s own Hector O hEochagain will be reporting from in and around the parade ring along with Mick O hUallachain, while race commentary will be provided by Micheal O Se and Brian Tyers.

Daithi O Se will present the programmes, while TG4´s betting experts, Breandan O Ruairc and Seosamh O Braonain, will try to point punters in the right direction.
