That is what they air in that time slot, yes. To be fair to them, that is one time slot, and a time that not many are watching tv. Those that are have Ireland AM and BBC Breakfast. They won’t run news at breakfast time because they are mad scared of canibalising Morning Ireland. They tried a wierd “late breakfast” format a few years back (it aired between 9-11am) and it didn’t really work.

Also they do show parliamentary coverage (Leaders Questions, basically our PMQs) in the morning when the Dail is in session.
