Yup. Most UK TV is available here. We get BBC 1,2,3,4 and Channel 4, ITV etc. All UK based channels. But they are free to air here too. This is primarily down to Northern Ireland being part of the UK, so geographically we get access. Also we speak the same language and have very similar cultures so it makes sense they'd try get a few million extra viewers here. Ireland is like the UK with European influence. The UK if it embraced Europe more and didn't view itself as unique. Many British even when in Dublin, a former British city 100 years ago with 1.5 comment on how it feels British but also European (continental). A mix of the two over the decades since.

X Factor was called X Factor UK and Ireland officially. They used to have auditions in Dublin, Belfast and usually one or two other locations here.

The Voice is primarily UK based but allows irish performers. Ireland created its own version but many would still compete in the British competition as its much larger. A nation of 68 million vs 5.3 million (7.2 million including Northern Ireland though).

RTE often make lower budget copies of UK shows like dancing competitions etc and air them at different times of year to draw in fans of the UK versions. It's cheap and poor effort. Lazy.

That's all what I thought. There is no real reason why these sorts of shows can't be done across both countries, especially for all the reasons you state. Northern Ireland can even vote in your NFs, and we're forever having Irish people entering our shows. Hell some of our biggest tv personalities are Irish. :lol:. I can see why they may want to make an Ireland only version of some shows, because a united one would obviously be British dominated but at the same time it feels incredibly wasteful if their version is suffering in comparison to ours.

Cruachan on social media:

We've submitted our entry for consideration to represent Ireland in Eurovision 2024. When we made the submission last year we said its time for Ireland to stop sending pop music and take a chance on something different. Another pop song was sent and again did not make the final. We believe Ireland's greatest strength is our traditional music, and traditional music has always been Cruachan's greatest strength.

Our submission, Talamh, is as true a Cruachan song as there could ever be. This was in the early stages to appear on the next album but we decided we would take it, shorten it, and use it for Eurovision. We love Eurovision and would be honoured to represent our country there. Hopefully we at least get to the televised final and the public can then make the ultimate decision.

Damn, I wish Ireland would surprise us all this time and just select them.

NOT my style of music at all but it was unbelievable they wasn't even in the line up last year given the mediocrity that was chosen to the enter the NF instead.

I think CMAT wants to do it since she's a huge eurovision fan and not too big not to enter.

She has massive potential since her voice alone and persona are final-worthy.

like juries would eat this up, so they better be back in the semis since you never know with the televoters and their questionable taste and attention span.

I dont think it means much other than that there's probably been a high quantity of entries submitted, of all area's we've struggled the one area we dont struggle is getting a large number of entries.

And that is where the main issue lies! No matter what happens you know, at least with the current delegation, that they will pick song's that suit their formula and chuck out anything modern or interesting.

I doubt ALL of them are crap but any decent half interesting one will probably be chucked in the bin regardless:ROFLMAO:
