It is a once in a lifetime event and whatever the political history between the UK and ROI RTE as the state broadcaster would be remiss in not showing it.

Well.. Once in a lifetime for Charles, we will see another coronation in around 20 years at a guess.

Now that I think about it, Television came to the Republic of Ireland on New Year's Eve 1961, so this Is going to be the first Coronation that will ever be broadcast on TV in Ireland!
