Republic of Ireland
Is the TV against the Republic of Ireland (southern Ireland)?
I ask this as when they cover the weather they never mention the republic of Ireland. Yes I know that they do not get BBC (although they probably do on Satellite).
But they seem to ignore it. It would only take a second to say it its raining or not.
I mean there are lots of people from Ireland in England who may wish to know, as well as those who may be going on holiday.
Also the news rarely covers events in Ireland, yet almost each day they will cover events in the USA, and often events in other European countries.
After all Ireland is our closest English speaking country.
Also non of the channels ever seem to buy any Irish TV shows. I am sure they must produce some decent TV shows.
So to me, the media snubs the Republic of Ireland.
