I realize the British Isles have never been too good at it (see Scotland, for instance), but in Ireland the thing seems a tad extreme
They could potentially divide Ireland in the three/four historical provinces, and so on
Just see how Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland and other countries with a similar population or structure are good at it
RTE did try regional opt outs and it failed. I think there was a few clips of some opt outs during the Six One News in the early 90s if I remember correct from my reading.
It was called like TV South East, TV North West, and they would opt out at 6.30pm during the Six One News
