    Cairn Hill didn't need a retune. Can you see which channel nos. or frequencies you're getting now? E.g. RTE2 from Cairn Hill would be in ch.47, 682 MHz.

    What transmitter does the cover checker recommend for your location - http://coverage.rtenl.ie/index700.php

    Do you have an aerial pointing at this transmitter?
    Do you have another aerial for the Freeview channels from a NI transmitter?

    Well that's Cairn Hill anyway. Are you sure that's where you're actually set up to receive from though?

    I'm not aware of any changes at Cairn Hill, & none of the transmitters that changed (ROI or NI) could be interfering with it, so it's more than likely just coincidence that the problem arose now.
