Shane Coleman said the issue is not about the coronation itself, but RTÉ's decision to broadcast it
"If you want to watch the coronation, I'd say there's about 15 different channels you can watch it on," he said."It'll be everywhere.
"We do live in a republic, I'm not sure why RTÉ is broadcasting a coronation that is available on 10 other channels. "If people want to watch it that's totally fine: this is about RTÉ and should they be showing it when it's available elsewhere?" he added.
