I presume that we are stuck with the caption now until normal BBC P programmes start again at 2130. RTE has it's Nine O#Clock News on now so I can't see BBC P going back during that.
I would have thought some better scheduling would have been done, but it was worthwhile for what we've had.
According to rte.ie there's another 5.5 hours to go from 21,30 on RTE1 so it's back to the web for further coverage.

Poor scheduling on the part of BBC Parliament. The Nine O'Clock News is practically a permanent fixture in the RTE One schedule; why on earth the BBC Parliament coverage was scheduled to continue until 9.30pm is beyond me.
Keeping in mind that RTE has a mere fraction of the resources that an organisation such as the BBC has, what is the general feeling among UK viewers about the RTE coverage?

It looks superb from what little I've watched online so far. Easily comparable with what we get over here, and beautiful graphics.

AIUI the networks normally put out half an advert break, leaving the affiliates to fill the other half.... at least that's what they do for ABCs Good Morning America
Didn't RTE's coverage have ad breaks?

If the BBC were to take one of the US Networks' coverage, presumably they would take a clean feed (the one distributed to affiliates), which would be minus commercials wouldn't it?

Yes, BBC Parliament ran trailers (for BBC Parliament) and public service ads (Give blood), then put up a "Irish General Election - NEXT" caption while they waited for coverage to continue.
RTÉ's coverage looked very good from what I saw of it, pres wise. Nice clean graphics and a pretty quick results update speed... if only I understood how that voting system worked!

I have to say that BBC Parliaments handling of the RTE coverage was shocking for the following reasons.
1. They never started coverage until about 7:15
2. When coverage did start, RTE then went straight to an advert and BBC but up a slide saying coverage will resume at 7:30, only for coverage to start a few minutes later.
3.Why decide to only go to 9:30?
4.Why did they not just show the RTE 9 o Clock news?
All very bizarre if you ask me.
