Probably there is some clause in some contract somewhere that dictates that the service knows as 'iPlayer' will not be available in Ireland.
The rights to BBC content is sold by BBC Studios in Ireland as a European country. (BBC One NI and BBC Two NI are distributed as part of the NI peace agreement).
