UK and World viewers can watch quite a bit of RTÉ home produced content on the RTÉ Player which unlike the BBC iPlayer is available internationally albeit in a slimmed down format.
RTE also should launch an archive TV channel for both Ireland and the UK - they have a vast archive of classic RTE shows going all the way back to the 60s, which would be an Irish version of say ITV 3, GOLD and Talking Pictures TV - it would be a great venture to have, shame they never bothered to do it.
