Eight injured as car mounts footpath in south Dublin | RTÉ News
Colman O'Sullivan's live report from Monkstown Farm was RTÉ News' most-watched new upload of the week. Reporting for Six One after a car mounted a footpath outside a row of shops, he confirmed that Gardaí had reported no fatalities. Seven teenage pedestrians and the driver were injured, and the road remained closed while officers examined the scene.
The channel's coverage ranged well beyond Dublin. Its report on the Kraków shooting was another of the week's most-watched uploads, while the news of Russell Brand's prison sentence for rape and sexual assault was drawing the most daily views by the week's end.
Irish policy also found a substantial audience. Simon Harris's Fine Gael conference pledge to penalise long-term unemployed people who refuse to engage with back-to-work services sat alongside coverage of Dublin protesters calling for a moratorium on new data centres.
Across the library, RTÉ News added roughly 1.5 million views. Subscribers were unchanged over the week, and daily viewing was below its usual level. Among similarly sized broadcasters, The Root had a particularly busy week; RNZ also added more weekly views, while Juno News was quieter.
Public sector pay talks supplied another source of fresh viewing. That report includes former Workplace Relations Commission chair Kieran Mulvey as the Government seeks to avert a Thursday strike with an improved offer, shifting the channel's domestic coverage from emergency response to negotiations affecting public services.
A centre-right political party in Ireland, led by Simon Harris since March 2024. It is the third-largest party in the Irish parliament’s lower house.
