Speed & Efficiency
On Location
TV-show and broadcast-series production for RTÉ One, RTÉ Two, Virgin Media One/Two/Three, TG4 (Irish-language Gaeltacht), Sky Ireland, Channel 4 Ireland, BBC Northern Ireland, and UTV — Coimisiún na Meán Irish-content quotas, bilingual EN / Irish (Gaeilge) delivery, and Section 481-eligible serial production.
Here is how this works in practice. Ireland's broadcast-series landscape is split across eight major TV networks with distinct commissioning slates. RTÉ (Radio Telefís Éireann — the public-service TV networks) runs RTÉ One (the flagship general-entertainment channel), RTÉ Two (younger / sports-leaning), RTÉ News Now (24-hour news). RTÉ Lifestyle. RTÉ Jr (children's. With both English and Irish strands), and the RTÉ Player streaming hub — regional studios at RTÉ Cork and RTÉ Galway provide extra production capacity. Virgin Media Television (Ballymount) operates Virgin Media One, Two, Three, and More on the commercial-broadcast side.
Here is the short of it. TG4 (Teilifís na Gaeilge, the Irish-language TV networks headquartered in Baile na hAbhann. Connemara Gaeltacht) handles all Irish-language commissioning including the long-running Ros na Rún soap (the Irish-language equivalent of Fair City / EastEnders, shot at Spiddal / An Spidéal). Sky Ireland and Channel 4 Ireland provide UK-derivative commissioning, BBC Northern Ireland operates Broadcasting House Belfast, and UTV runs Havelock House. Regulator-side, Coimisiún na Meán (which replaced the BAI in March 2023 under the Online Safety and Media Rules Act) administers Irish-content quotas, advertising restrictions, and the Sound & Vision Scheme funding.
Here is the breakdown. Production-side, broadcast-series production gains from Section 481 corporation-tax-credit for scripted serial work. This includes the 32% Irish-spend credit with a 40% regional uplift outside Dublin / Wicklow / Cork applies to long-running drama (Bad Sisters. Smother. The Dry, Hidden Assets at RTÉ, Holding at Virgin Media, the Vikings: Valhalla / Foundation streamer-tier sitting alongside). Bilingual EN / Irish (Gaeilge) delivery is a baseline need for RTÉ public-service work under the Official Languages Act 2003 (and its 2021 amendment). With TG4 productions needing native Irish-language delivery and Irish-subtitle workflows for cross-publication.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Multi-camera studio production runs through RTÉ Donnybrook's entertainment studios, Virgin Media Ballymount. TG4 Baile na hAbhann (with the Ros na Rún facilities at An Spidéal as an extra Connemara base), and the Belfast TV networks' Cathedral Quarter / Donegall Square facilities. Crew flows through SIPTU, Irish Equity, and BECTU NI; production-house bench includes Element, Treasure. Animo TV. ShinAwiL. Coco Television, Kite Entertainment, and the long-running Ros na Rún production team (TG4's Eo Teilifís). Post finishes through Windmill Lane, Outer Limits, Screen Scene, Egg Post Dublin and Yellow Moon Belfast.
