Been working on this for a few months - it shows everything live on Irish TV each week covering RTÉ, TG4, Virgin Media, Sky Sports and BBC. Also added GAA fixtures streaming on Clubber and StreamSport recently with county filtering.
Completely free, updated every week. Sharing here in case anyone finds it useful - happy to take feedback too.
John Creedon discovers the stories behind some of Irelands favourite Love Songs and endeavours to answer the question - why do they mean so much?
I have an idea for an Irish/British sitcom, but would you watch this:
TV Show Scenario: The Merger
2 Schools, one old & comprehensive,
one private and grammar,
in the fictional town of Whiteabbey, (Northern) Ireland,
merge under the local authority’s plan to save money.
Schools:
St James Comprehensive School
Whiteabbey Private Institution for the Education of The Young Individual Kind
Turning into: St James High School.
The show is a mainly a comedy
with a slice of drama.
I’m thinking of a 10x30 episode structure.
One of the main things is that the private school is mainly Protestant and the comprehensive is mainly Catholic.
Should I tell you all the characters?
Tell me… Would you watch this?
Any games you have from mayo run in the all Ireland would be greatly appreciated. My dad's watched the final on repeat for weeks and I'm trying to download as many of the buildup games as I can find so he can watch them forever. If you have any with the commentary too that would be wonderful!
Granted the cloud cover didn’t help but very disappointed with RTE coverage of this evenings solar eclipse. They showed pictures continuously on the news Channel but absolutely no commentary. Sky covered the eclipse very well including pictures of totality in Iceland and Spain . They also had feeds from Cork, Newquay in Cornwall and others. Surely RTE could have purchased the feed.
Update: redeemed themselves somewhat by coverage on the 9 o clock news
A decade after the marriage equality referendum, Colin Murphy reunites with people featured in Charlie Bird's powerful archive interviews to explore how their lives have evolved.

I watched this prigramme on RTE last Sunday might and I had to ask myself was I after popping a hallugenic jelly by accident. Was it still 2026 or was I at mass this morning that was said by McQuaid and then came home to see De Valera standing at the camogie final.
The smugness of those families about their perfect lives without any need or want for phones or gaming or how they would never back answer their mother. And worse still, the RTE voiceover adding to it. It was orwellian stuff. Kids from the city bad, country kids good. City parents shite, country parents smelling of shite but lovely.
I think you have something for me Josh. Yeah it's a fucking phone, have you ever used one I wanted to ask her. Have you something for me the country bumpkins asked. And when they saw the phone they had to put on glasses like the eclipse ones in case they got burned from looking at it. Our kids never ask for games their too busy outside shovelling shit. She was a bit hyper trying to catch the pig he said, where the pig wasn't the one in the trough at all, it had two legs.
But what beat all is when poor Josh was paraded in front of the locals, same locals who have shunned and protested against international young and old people coming to their village. That's their type of breeding. Josh was the centre of their poking that day. God help it if he was coloured. A white city slicker was close enough. It ll be your fault Josh if this doesn't go to plan. Ah Josh no one steals in the country, except farmers who steal from the taxpayer with grants for their kids, but that's legal. No Josh no one steals in the country. Josh being a nice kid decides to give an extra burnt finger sasauge to a customer. He shouldn't have, the profits to be spent in pints later were gone.
And to cap it all, who wouldn't want a family portrait of the people who ripped the absolute piss out of you amongst their own kkk or sorry the FFK (fucking farmer klan). A lovely memory to have.
I put in a proviso. That these parents of these two kids thought it was right to subject their kids to this belittling, really says you should have stayed away from patenting and stuck to working as no child parents. Improving mental health of your kids allowing them to be subjected to deridement by smaller kids of the country bumpkins and adult kids wearing adult diapers.
I wonder how the aul psychiatrists RTE bring out once in a while would view the behaviour these two smashing city kids were subject too. How will these two lovely kids look back in their late teens and view the behaviour of grown cunts towards them. Including their own.
Raised by the no condom we re Irish and Catholic clan.
The first film account of the life of musician and producer Dónal Lunny, and his unique contributions to Irish culture and music.
I have a feeling the answer is going to be "Not much outside of clips and single episodes" but I thought I'd ask anyway.
How much stuff is accessible in any form from the 90's - Early 2000s? I'm mainly interested as I've come across some Fieldstation42 projects (it is a way to recreate old tv channels on a pc, you can set a schedule and fill them with programmes you've downloaded locally) with really interesting results for channels in other regions.
the youtube channel TV CLASSICS IRELAND and TV CURATOR have done the lords work but it's probably not enough to fill out something like a classic RTE 1.
TG4 have done some fantastic documentaries around traditional irish music over the years, I can't specifically remember the names of a lot of them, but if anyone knew where I could access any of these, I would be delighted!
Thanks!
