Irish services have distinct programme roles
RTÉ One, RTÉ2, TG4 and Virgin Media One provide separate Irish broadcaster reference points. TG4 is a particularly useful identity for households interested in Irish-language programming, while news, entertainment and sport can lead to different services.
A programme’s availability online can differ from its television broadcast. Use the broadcaster’s own current player or programme page for access information rather than assuming that an Irish channel name guarantees the same online catalogue abroad.
Dublin time and the source date
Europe/Dublin is the clock reference for a dated programme conversion. Keep the intended local date with an event announced elsewhere, and use the relevant location rather than treating a remembered UTC offset as a permanent Irish setting.
Dated local-time examples
These examples convert the same two UTC instants into the listed locations. They are clock calculations, not television listings. A broadcaster’s current programme guide supplies the programme start; the conversion supplies the local date and time.

Questions about this guide
Which local clock does this Ireland guide use?
The dated examples use Europe/Dublin. At the example instant of 20:00 UTC on 3 November 2026, Europe/Dublin is 2026-11-03 20:00 (UTC+00:00). Use the location for the actual screen; separate identifiers can share a current offset while retaining different historical rules.
Which broadcaster references are provided for Ireland?
RTE One, RTE2, TG4, Virgin Media One. Their own websites provide current programme information and conditions. These reference identities are separate from the contents of an IPTV Australia account.
