From C4;

There are no plans to make voting available in the Republic of Ireland thisyear. We are very sorry for any disappointment caused.

But it is! C4 own the right to BB in the ROI, which means that even if a station over here wanted to produce BB, they couldn't. Also, they hold auditions in Dublin!

It's stupid! I'm so angry about it. I didn't care about LF, but this has annoyed me. What even more annoying is that for so long they said it was due to "technical issues". When in reality - they couldn't be arsed.

Which is exactly why they should enable voting in Ireland.

No Irish TV station would have enough money to fund a show like 'Big Brother'. RTÉ wouldn't go near it, and they wouldn't bother giving to it's younger brother RTÉ2. TV3 haven't got the money to fund it - and they are linked to ITV as well, so they prob have a say on what TV3 airs.

it was annoying in BB7 when davina kept going on about the Ireland phonelines closing anyway

[ILoveTRW]

if you really are that desperate to vote put the calling code +44 in front of the UK phonelines.

That isn't the point! If the own the right to BB here, and do auditions here - then they should bring back the Irish voting!

[monkeyking87]

I always thoughtTV3 would give it a go

They did The Box!!!

But in reality itll never happen!

No-one watches Irish progammes here,we all watch the UK shows,we should be able to vote! A BBIreland would just fail.

Im from Northern Ireland and I would be pissed if I Were you lot.

Dont worry, If there is an Irish person in the house we in Northern Ireland will vote on behalf of you all in the Republic.

That is very sad that C4 Are doing that, they have no reason to do that probley just because their English and want to wind the Irish up as ussuall.

[Beastie]

yeah it is unfair.. i agree!! ireland should be able to vote!!
