That is exceelent news provision across Irish broadcasters. Compare that to how the broadcast landscape is deteriorating in New Zealand, despite both having similar populations (around five million). And arguably Ireland is in closer orbit to another, bigger English language market as well.

Totally agree with you. We are very lucky that Virgin Media provide as much news coverage as they do. Although not in the same league as RTÉ News they provide quite a good news service and it’s very important to have an independent TV news service in Ireland. We do not want to end up in the same position as New Zealand look like they are going to be in. TG4 News is also very good. All in all we are very well served with TV news. Long may that continue regardless of future delivery platforms.
