RTÉ Radio 1 to broadcast live from London

Some of the Radio 1 team will be live from London on Radio 1 as the UK goes to the polls from Thursday morning.

Then, as the results and trends begin to emerge from the overnight count, Morning Ireland will present a special extended programme on RTÉ Radio 1 from 6am on Friday morning, with presenters Cathal MacCoille, Audrey Carville and Keelin Shanley live from London, Belfast and Dublin studios. RTÉ News Now will also simulcast the specially extended Morning Ireland programme from 6.00am.

RTÉ Radio’s 1 coverage will continue through the day as Fergal Keane reports from the UK on Today With Sean O’Rourke (from 10.00am) and Drivetime (from 4:30pm) regarding all that is unfolding on Brexit.

RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta’s Political Editor Mícheál Ó Leidhin will be reporting from London throughout the day on Thursday and Friday, starting with Adhmhaidin at 8am, on the referendum and the results, the implications for Ireland and for Northern Ireland, and the long term implications for the EU.
