Well I'm not Irish, but I go over there quite regularly. RTE stands for Radio Telefís Éireann.
I know they broadcast Neighbours, and I believe that they used to broadcast Coronation Street and Emmerdale until TV3 launched, and ITV switched the rights to TV3 because the have a big share in the channel. They currently broadcast EastEnders as well. I'm sure somebody else will be able to help you more than me.

RTE means Radio Telefis Eireann.
As far as I know they have shown Glenroe, Fair City, Eastenders, Home and Away, Neighbours. TV3 another Irish station has Emmerdale and used to show Sunset Beach. I don't think RTE has ever shown any American soaps but I could be wrong, unless you count Dallas which they show in the mornings. |

I forgot about Ros na Run, they used to show repeats on RTE1. This program is great, way ahead of the rest with controversial storylines, and most people don't notice because it is all in Irish!

RTE1 and RTE2 (previously Network 2) aired loads of international and homegrown soaps between them over the years. Here's a list of the one's that I can recall:
IRISH Tolka Row The Riordans Bracken Glenroe Fair City Ros na Run ENGLISH Coronation Street Emmerdale Crossroads EastEnders Howards Way Casualty Holby City Doctors SCOTTISH High Road AMERICAN Peyton Place Dallas Dynasty The Colbys Falcon Crest Knots Landing Santa Barbera Savannah Central Park West Melrose Place Beverly Hills 90210 Malibu Shores Second Chances AUSTRALIAN Home and Away Neighbours Sons and Daughters The Sullivans A Country Practice E Street NEW ZEALAND Shortland Street Oddly, the only UK soaps not to be picked up by Irish TV in recent years were Night and Day, Brookside and Hollyoaks. Family Affairs even airs on TV3. |
