It's a fair bet dissident republican types will be some of the bigger watchers of it,

But why, if people hav such a problem with the uk why are they watching it, i've never come across irelands got talent in the uk

We don't all have a problem with the UK. Also morbid curiosity and I think I speak for the majority of men when I say we have a collective thing for Ms. Midleton.

They are a much bigger media producer than we are, so we import their television.

There you go, all your questions answered and well in time for dinner. Jolly good!

We got rid of our T.V. a month or three ago. Only had the aul 4 channels anyway as I work at a desk job so hate being inside after work and wasn't getting sky when the one outside can be just as interesting.

Best thing I ever did.

All this anti-British sentiment recently is getting so out of hand that's it's quite worrying. I barely recognise this country anymore, especially when people are getting so uppity over something as trivial as the royal wedding. It's going to be on during the day on a Friday and will attract an enormous audience, it's not like it's cutting into must-see TV and it's purely a business decision

Maybe you've mistaken Ireland for Wales.

decies

Going to watch it watched the wedding in 81. I remember the uneducated in Waterford going around wearing stickers #%%## the wedding I support the hunger strikers. One would like to think we are grown up boys and girls now!!!

Well, the vast majority of people don't have a problem with the UK.

I've never thought of any Ireland / UK history while watching a UK show anyway! Can't see why anyone else would either.

sure if yis dont want to watch it ya can allways change channell O nooooo it's on them all:D:D:D:eek::eek::eek::p:p:p

Why is this even an issue? It's a massive event and it would be stupid for rte not to cover it. If I wasn't working I'd definitely watch it.

thats just on boards. I thought racism, bigottry and idiocy (well not idiocy) were comparitively rare in Ireland untill i started on here. Out in the real world people arent as anti british as they were 20 years ago.

that being said the most vitriolic anti-monarchist republicans I know are British

Don't give the lunatics ideas.

I wonder will this be broadcast in that pub where they had the anti-royal visit sign up? Probably.

I was disgusted to read today that RTE ONE Television will have live coverage the royal wedding, Why are they doing this? Would they cover a royal wedding in Norway? What have those brits who were born with a sliver spoon in their mouth got to do with us? Why would us Irish want to watch that trash?

Its the people like you that get their jocks/panties in a twist over it that amuse me - who cares, really??? Find something else to get into a state over. :rolleyes:

People saying rte will bring in a fortune in advertisments showing this, thats rubbish what do you think they'll do say hang on there will and kate rte are just going for an add break.

Its completely wrong that our national broadcaster would show this if people want to watch this they have plenty of other options the best one being move to england

The RA only wanted to cancel that race because of their animal rights agenda. Like that time they liberated Shergar and bombed manchester because Marks and Spencers sold leather shoes.

Bunch of hippies those IRA lads, sure even Gerry Adams has admitted to hugging trees

Landsleaving, it won't be on in the Players Lounge, tbh that place is lucky to be open at the mo anyway!

you can watch it on BBC1 or 2 anyway over here, why do RTE need to show it.

Are there still people who don't get BBC over here?

Yes - I have SAORVIEW, so I only receive the RTE channels. And since the BBC provide programming for the Irish community in the UK, it is reasonable for RTE to provide programming for the British community in Ireland.

Even if not one single Irish person was interested in it, RTE still has a responsibility to the wider population.
