Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I wonder if Premier Sports will step into the gap? (In effect, the original owners of the Eir Sport when it was an independent company called Setanta.)

Future of Eir Sport in doubt after rights refusal

Eir Sport could be facing closure after it decided not to participate in the next round of sports rights auctions.

The move is likely to signal an end to the five-year old channel, although the telecommunications company has said it will continue broadcasting for the time being.

Eir Sport began broadcasting in 2016 having bought out the Irish interests of Setanta Sports and looking to emulate BT that had also used its own sports channel to drive subscriptions to its IPTV service.

In a statement first released to the Irish independent, Eir said it was now “exploring options” for the future.
