    Will

    - rte live www.rte.ie/live will have coverage
    - www.cnn.com will also have live coverage

    I think that all news outlets on-line will have coverage, it will just be a matter of choosing the one you want, when considering the reporters

    Same here...streaming from the RTE site is blocked by the company web filter. They don't block other streams though. They blocked our access to RTE streaming after the olympics finished.
    Presumably done to stop people watching sport and stuff on company time.
