RTÉ HAS APOLOGISED for poor sound quality during today’s opener to the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Ireland are facing Australia in the country’s historic first appearance at the finals in Sydney but live coverage was hampered by skipping audio in the first half.
Audio appeared to be seconds ahead of the play.
RTÉ has also posted on social media saying that it was “working to rectify” the audio quality.
A message appeared on screen during RTÉ’s live broadcast screen of the first half stating: “Apologies for the poor sound quality.”
Presenter Evanne Ní Chuilinn apologised again when halftime coverage began, adding that the station is “doing everything we can to rectify it for the second half so hopefully that will be sorted in the next few minutes”.

Numerous complaints has been made online about the audio problems, with some viewers now resorting to watching the game on BBC and ITV.
Right. Watching Irelands first World Cup game on an English channel because of RTE's typical incompetence. Great.
