A selection of videos from earlier years is available to view/download. Some are in MP4 format and some are in WMV format.
2006 - 2018
Historical MP4 and WMV files for many days throughout this period are available to download in our video archive. It is not a complete archive of all proceedings. Daily files can be single files or there can be several files associated with a single day. MP4 files are only available from October 2009 onwards.
Please note:
- Files are categorised in folders by chamber/room, year, month and day.
- The daily files are large files (> 6GB).
- File names follow a distinct naming convention based on date, e.g., [forum]_[YYYYMMDD].{mp4 or wmv}
- Reuse of any webcast or broadcast is subject to our Rules of Coverage and the Oireachtas (Broadcast Proceedings) PSI Licence.
