Oh dear. RTE has pretty much been the sole provider of coverage, both in broadcast and online. BBC Parliament planned to relay coverage from 1900 to 2130. They didn't start properly until 1915, and finished at 2055, and just left a slide on screen for the whole duration of the RTE News: Nine O'Clock bulletin.
TV3 has no ability to provide online coverage, as it has no news section on it's website. And the only other Irish news provider is Independent Network News, which has no website of it's own.
Outside of Ireland, BBC News seems to be the only other news provider to have covered the election at all, and that is mainly online.
Sky News seems to have barely touched on it at all, and not so long ago, they would have had their own coverage anchored from Dublin on Sky News Ireland. Now, barely anything. It's disappointing.
