In the early years there was an entertainment slot which lasted one minute usually between programmes and voiced over by one of the people they had head hunted from TnaG/TG4. It was basically a token gesture. In fact over the last 20 years SKY One probably had more Drama/Comedy in Irish than TV3/Virgin Media. (An episode of Moone Boy had a few lines in Irish when they went on Holiday)
There could be a good few programmes in Irish possibly (there's not!) but I don't watch Virgin Media. In fact most people around me don't watch it either. If they are watching ITV programmes they're watching them directly on Satellite from ITV. (I'm obviously not living in a Cable area)
I doubt there will be any regular Irish language programmes on the station going forward.
