Oireachtas TV is the dedicated parliamentary television channel in Ireland, providing live and recorded coverage of proceedings in Dáil Éireann, Seanad Éireann, and Oireachtas committees. The channel broadcasts unedited debates, parliamentary questions, and committee hearings, allowing viewers to follow the legislative process as it happens. Programming also includes occasional explanatory segments on how the Oireachtas functions, but the core output remains gavel-to-gavel coverage of political sessions. The channel is available on free-to-air television across Ireland and streams online through the Oireachtas website. All content is presented in English and Irish, with simultaneous translation provided for Irish-language segments.
