The following is a list of events relating to television in Ireland from 1992.
Events
- 11 January – Máire Geoghegan-Quinn is appointed Minister for Tourism, Transport and Communications with responsibility for broadcasting.[1]
- 17 January – On a day when seven Protestant construction workers had been killed by an IRA bomb in Northern Ireland, British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Peter Brooke appears on The Late Late Show. After a pleasant interview, host Gay Byrne coaxes and goads the unwilling Brooke into singing Oh My Darling, Clementine. Unionists are subsequently outraged at what seems to be a moment clearly out of touch with grieving families, and instantly request Brooke's resignation. A humiliated Brooke later loses his position as Secretary of State to Sir Patrick Mayhew after the 1992 British General Election in April.[2]
- 9 May – Ireland wins the Eurovision Song Contest with Why Me? composed by Johnny Logan and performed by Linda Martin.[1]
- 23 July – Joe Barry is appointed Director-General of RTÉ.[1]
- 28 December – The Irish language drama serial Ros na Rún is first aired on RTÉ Television as a series of 15-minute episodes.[1]
- Undated – Coronation Street moves from Network 2 to RTÉ 1.
- RTE goes on strike. The strike started on 21 January 1992. Around 1,600 staff at RTE from three unions (SIPTU, NUJ and ETU) had gone on strike over staffing levels at RTE. The dispute began on 21 January 1992 when two person camera crews were introduced without the agreement of the SIPTU union. For nearly four weeks, all live home produced programming on both RTE One and Network Two were axed, with RTE filling its schedules with already recorded home produced shows along with a large amount of imported new programming and archive programming from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, USA and Australia, along with many films. RTE News output on television was reduced to short news summaries. It ended on 17 February 1992 with a resolution reached between the unions and RTE management.[3]
