The Church of Ireland press office in Belfast produce a listing of various broadcast and online worship services and reflections that will be available each Sunday. It is available at https://www.ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/news/Press/2020/Broadcast-Online-Worship-18.10.20.pdf
In Donegal we can generally pick up BBC and RTE broadcasts and for those of us that have limited internet connectivity or more used to the traditional broadcast model these may provide a better experience than issues with buffering and stuttering from an online platform.
