    Is it possible to add RTE as a news source when asking Google Assistant to give the news?

    Only can find UK sources.

    Ireland News sources are not an option in the app. As you have found out.

    Is there any way to add an RSS feed to a news bulletin of any kind?

    This worked well with Alexa before RTE was available there.

    Oddly i got a notification to select a new news source from my google assistant this morning...

    I now have 'RTE news' and i think 'news talk 106-108' on my news sources list - under 'English (Ireland)' selection

    Newstalk would want to get their ass in gear. I added them to the "Good Morning" routine and the news bulletin was from before the Pope's visit.


    There is a new "I'm home" routine which is pretty cool too.
