    They are showing Sky News Ireland on Sky1 now. No idea why. Probably trying to get people to actually watch it.

    Nope, see this thread here:http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054867114 on the decision by sky to simulcast Sky News Ireland on Sky One and Sky News.

    Anyone with sky digital can tune Sky One UK in manually to watch whatever is replaced on the irish version. Sky News UK can also be tuned in to avoid Sky News Ireland altogether or better still BBC News 24 can be tuned in to avoid Sky News completely.
