Setanta used to mandate a $20 cover charge for GAA matches, Premium Sports (who are run by the people who used to run Setanta US) now mandate that bars charge a $20 cover. The bars aren't picked by Setanta/Premium, any bar can show GAA matches as long as they're willing to fork over the $15,000 or so that it costs for the subscription. Even with the $20 cover lots of places don't make their subscription cost back and need to sell breakfast/drinks to break even.

With Premium Sports taking over from Setanta there is now an option to watch games online for $20/match. If you're tech savy (like my wife) and have a newer TV/computer you can probably hook your computer up to the TV and watch the match on a bigger screen.

Yew_tree; Boston in particular seemed to me to be full to the brim with Galwegians, Mayoians and Roscommonites. With a fair does of Tir Conaillers thrown in to boot. I lived in Southie and there were days walking down the street you wouldn't hear a single American accent.

There are days you could walk down O'Connell Street and not hear a single irish accent too.

No there aren't, unless you mean Christmas day or something where you would'nt hear any accent Irish or otherwise.
