It's a brain-damage problem at RTEs end I think. Their streaming 
stuff did once work on non-wintel platforms, but stopped working a 
year or two ago in some revamp.

At least they're not using flash, so there's still some hope.

If anyone can rip the segment containing the footage of our beloved, 
committee member, please make it available. (technically, that would 
infringing the copyright, but it seems unlikely RTE would drag you 
into court).
