Luck of the Irish?
 

The Sunday World reports that TV3 bosses are hoping to broadcast Big Brother ROI.
It was confirmed back in May, that Irish viewers would not be able to watch Big Brother this year, because 5 is only available in Ireland via Sky by tuning in manually.
“We are in negotiations,” TV3 boss Ben Frow confirmed. “If we do get it, it’s more likely to be screened on our digital channel 3e, rather than TV3 itself.”
Frow, who spent two years as the head of entertainment of 5, expects to strike a deal with Endemol for the rights to CBB this summer.

Ah that is good news:). Would not have been fair if some Irish BB fans had to miss out from watching the show.
