RTE: The Irish Broadcasting Network website

Amongst other interesting things, this site has live and archived radio broadcasts from Ireland along with REAL player broadcast of their main TV News bulletins . You'll need to download REAL Player to listen to them though. It has some excellent information on Irish Radio and TV History too.

Ireland.com

The website of the Irish newspaper; The Irish Times; An excellent resource, not just as a newspaper but contains some wonderful print, audio and video archives and a wealth of links. Also has an excellent Breaking News section with a daily poll and opportunity to have your say.

Times2000

The historical archive section of the above Ireland.com site which apparently isn't linked from there anymore - I think it's a great resource. It's a shame they've removed the link.

Castlebar.ie
          Just in case you missed it before - The website of my home town in Ireland which has grown from strength to strength since I first added it to my page almost two years ago. Has some excellent information and links on Castlebar including loads of photos, old and new, A link to the Local Radio Station CRCfm which broadcasts live on the net, Weekly round up of the local papers and my personal favourite; Their Wonderfully entertaining Bulletin Board - Look out for regular inane rantings of some mysterious persona called PJ amongst others!

Irish Independent

The homepage of The Irish Independent. Good for Irish and International news.

All things Irish

A nice useful personal website (by Diane Shaw) recommended by Yahoo and awarded 3 stars by the Irish web monitors. Any info ya could possibly want on Ireland is probably here.

BBC World Service

This wonderful service has kept me sane many lonely nights in places far distant from Mayo - It is a wonderful simple joy to sit in a tent literally anywhere in the world and tune in to Bush House in London on a small battery operated portable 10 band radio. Also I believe totally underrated and under credited as a wonderful resource for Irish people abroad in the absence of an International SW service by RTE.

 

Exp.com

           Looking for an expert - Here's the place. Ya might even find the services of someone who can tell ya all ya might need to know about holidaying in Ireland or cycle touring in Europe..
