No, you will have to wait for it a couple of days for them to put it up on the web, and then go to this page to hear it:

Thanks ,it sounds like a good programme,heres what the RTE guide has to say
“Na Piobari Uilleann is the venue for tonight’s Ceili House. There will be lots of fine playing of traditional Irish music from some of today’s great exponents, young and old, of the art of Uilleann Piping. There will also be news of some of the upcoming events at na Piobari Uilleann. Na Piobairi Uilleann (The Uilleann Pipers) was founded in 1968 at grassroots level by pipers themselves. The aims of the society are to perpetuate the spirit of the music, in particular the playing of the pipes and the production and maintenance of the instrument itself.”

Go to some of the previous years and have a listen. Céilí House has had some of the best coverage of amateur singers and players you’re likely to find on radio; not a lot of piping, but that’s not really what they’re about.
