I live in Louth. Irish TV is available on satellite but you must pay SKY for it, even if you have an Irish TV licence (i.e. you have paid for it already). If you stop paying for SKY you will lose the Irish channels. This is a disgrace. Ask your TD why you have to pay twice to get RTE by satellite. Otherwise you will have to get a Saorview compatible TV or set-top box as it is a different system from the british Freeview.
