The state broadcaster is set to devote four hours of television coverage to the coronation of King Charles III this weekend.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has called for"respect" for monarchists, after two People Before Profit TDs questioned the broadcasting of King Charles' coronation on RTE this coming Saturday.The event, which will take place at Westminster Abbey, will see Charles and his wife Camilla take part in the first royal coronation in seven decades.
TDs Paul Murphy and Richard Boyd Barrett were extremely critical of the state broadcaster's airing of the coronation. Mr. Murphy, who described the monarchy as an institution built on"racism, privilege and empire", declared the coronation of King Charles III to be a"very obvious attempt to rehabilitate" the royal family's wounded image.
