RT is set to deliver comprehensive coverage of the 2024 General Election, bringing the latest updates and in-depth analysis to television, radio, and online platforms. With a dedicated and highly knowledgeable team of journalists and broadcasters, RT will provide audiences with up-to-the-minute reporting, sharp analysis and insights to keep the public informed at every stage of the campaign. From special election broadcasts and live debates to interactive online resources, RT 's multi-platform approach will ensure that viewers and listeners across Ireland can engage with all the 2024 General Election coverage that matters to voters.
RT 's television and streaming coverage for General Election 2024 will feature definitive leaders' debates, offering voters unparalleled insights and direct engagement with party leaders as they face questions on their visions and policies for the nation's future, across RT One and RT Player.
RT will host two major television leaders' debates during the campaign, which will be available to stream worldwide. Upfront with Katie Hannon will hold the largest ever leaders' debate, with 10 political party leaders invited to debate live in studio on Monday 18th November, as Katie asks the questions the voters want answered. On Tuesday 26th November, three days ahead of the country going to the polls, Prime Time will feature the final debate of the campaign. The leaders of the largest three parties have been invited to participate, with broadcasters Miriam O'Callaghan and Sarah McInerney asking the important questions.
From the get-go the RT News app and RTE.ie will serve as the go-to hub for General Election 2024 voter-focused coverage in English and as Gaeilge, featuring brand new interactive constituency guides, breakdowns of party priorities, and issue-specific deep dives.
In a world of disinformation, RT 's channels on TikTok, Instagram, You Tube, Facebook and X will provide voter-led coverage and a focus on amplifying young people's voices and their views on key issues.
From the hustle and bustle of the campaign trail to the drama of debate nights, the RT News App and social media channels will provide clarity on the issues in addition to bringing the public the latest breaking news, expert analysis and important local stories, framed in the big picture of the electoral landscape. With live updates via RT 's Campaign Daily blog, handy election guides, and a poll tracker, RT 's online coverage will help provide voters with clear, accurate information to navigate the fast-paced election landscape.
RT is set to bring comprehensive and dynamic coverage of the General Election 2024 across its radio and audio platforms and has launched three brand-new podcast series on all things General Election, exploring issues, challenges, and voter perspectives from every corner of Ireland.
In Know Your Constituency, RT Radio 1's podcast series, Barry Lenihan explores the dynamics of Ireland's 43 constituencies, with insights into boundary changes, political strategies, and local rivalries, featuring expert analysis and contributions from RT 's top presenters and political commentators.
In Behind the Ballot, RT 's David McCullagh, Katie Hannon and Fran McNulty go behind the scenes of General Election 2024 as they guide listeners through the campaign and what's really going on with three podcasts each week and a bonus episode every weekend.
And for the first time, the RT Raidi na Gaeltachta team will host a dedicated Irish language election podcast titled An Pod Polaiti il, as presenter M ir n N Ghadhra is joined by various political commentators each week.
RT Radio 1's Morning Ireland and Today with Claire Byrne will provide daily in-depth campaign coverage each morning and a series of in-depth leaders' interviews as polling day approaches. The Morning Ireland team will be travelling around the country, speaking to people in constituencies across urban and rural areas asking what are the issues that matter. News at One with Rachael English will bring listeners the latest breaking campaign news every day, including what's happening in their constituencies and nationally.
Drivetime with Sarah McInerney and Cormac hEadhra will go on the road to profile constituencies nationwide, while The Late Debate and Saturday with Colm Mong in will tackle the election's key issues, including programmes from around the country. On Sundays, This Week will examine topics, dissecting the manifesto promises with panels of political parties and independent politicians in two live studio debates over the weekends of the campaign.

On 2fm there will be updates from the campaign trail on the issues affecting younger voters, with in-studio reports on The Laura Fox Show.
