RTÉ announced today that it will broadcast Ireland's UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-off semi-final against Slovakia on Thursday 26 March.
Should Mick McCarthy's men overcome Slovakia in Bratislava RTÉ will also show the play-off final away against the winner of Bosnia and Herzegovina v Northern Ireland on Tuesday 31 March.
There had been some doubt regarding whether or not the national broadcaster could acquire the rights of the games.
Darragh Maloney will be joined by Liam Brady and Didi Hamann for live coverage of the semi-final from Bratislava with George Hamilton and Ronnie Whelan on commentary and Tony O'Donoghue reporting. Kick-off 7.45pm with extra-time and penalties a possibility.
