The text of that article strongly suggests that they are indeed talking about 'YourTV'.

Sky and RTE have just renewed their carriage agreement- the interesting bit for us is that they want to bring some Irish stations to the UK.

For rights reasons, I expect this to mean something along the lines of Tara TV as opposed to simulcasting RTE1 etc.

I would expect VM to pick up this channel if it were made available to them.
Yes, more likely to watch some programming from that channel than 'Your TV'! Assuming, that is, that we get some of their peak time viewing and not just the daytime TV reality shows!
