The RTE ones are yes, due to rights issues mainly, but VM may buy the rights for the UK too (RTE couldn't afford to).

Had never heard of Ziggo Sport before, perhaps an English language version will be created to form the new Irish Sports channel??
I do think it's odd that the primary target of these new channels will be Southern Ireland.
Why not give the channels more chance of success (particularly as the genres are already covered in Ireland) by covering the UK and having an Irish version like some channels already do.
