I think it was simply to increase the option for Irish viewers 260,000 and rising and to compete with the cable companies who include ITV, Channel 4 and Five, channels not available at present on the Irish package. Neither are CBBC, CBeebies, BBC3/4 only BBC1 and 2. And before anyone gets on a bandwagon as they have on other forums regarding people in Britain paying for a licence, the arrival of BBC1 and 2 coincided with a sub price increase.</blockquote>
