No mystery here. This shortwave broadcast has been on the air for years.
It's simply a re-run of an earlier news broadcast from RTE1, branded as RTE
Radio Worldwide. The Web page is http://www.rte.ie/radio/worldwide.html
which gives the following schedule, to which I've added the transmitter
sites:

Ascension 21630 kHz (Africa) 1830-1900 UTC/GMT.
Singapore 11685 kHz (SE Asia, including Australia) 1000-1030 UTC/GMT.
Rampisham 6155 kHz (Central America) 0130-0200 UTC/GMT.
Sackville l3640 kHz (Central and Eastern America) 1830-1900 UTC/GMT.
Skelton l5315 kHz (Middle East) 1800-1830 UTC/GMT.

Nice of them to use a different site for each transmission :-)

There's also an E-mail address for further information, which is
