Liberty Global didn't buy Virgin Media Ireland. By the looks of it John Malone has always been part of cable in the Republic of Ireland - and Liberty Global bought ntl's assets in the ROI even before the ntl / Telewest merger.

Also the UPC brand pre-dates the Virgin Media brand.

The recent change is to bring the ROI business under Virgin Media in the wider group.
