I know someone with an Indian passport (they're living in London) and they have to get a visa to go from the UK to Ireland! I'm not sure which embassy they go to for it but I know they need one.
http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages...ited%20Kingdom It's the same for China and they'll be bringing in the same regulation for almost all countries outside the EU and the usual exceptions I presume US/Canada etc. There's huge advantage for the Irish Tourism industry that's going after Chinese Customers. |

Oh ok. That's good to know
![]() It is to some people though. OK, we have our own government and law and the education system is different and we have our own culture but we do have a lot in common with the UK as well. We speak English (except in Gaeltacht areas, but that doesn't stop Irish being compulsory in schools unless you have an exemption) and we have a lot of UK shops. There are loads of branches of various UK shops in the city I live in. Oh and we used to have the Irish pound (punt) til the euro came in ![]() |

We have German shops too so does make us German?
We only have Aldi and Lidl though and they're more international these days. You still have to go to Germany for real German shops I'm going there on Wednesday for a quick break before I go back to college. I'm actually half-German and was born in London but I've been living in Ireland since 2003. ![]() Quote:
Well it's all change now as one visa will do both countries.

They might have a permanent visa now allowing them free travel between the UK and Ireland, I don't really know.

To be fair I don't think anyone would ever rely on answers on international Visa law from a Thread about UTV Ireland (However Julian Simmons did work as an Air Steward I believe so maybe he'd know)
![]() My college offers an Immigration Law module but since I'm doing a Masters in a rather specialist area I won't be able to do it.

Lastest from UTV Ireland
http://utv.ie/Press/2015/01/05/UTV-I...reaction-25850 Huge amount of moaning about UPC, but UTV Ireland still came second in Primetime on Friday. It's only one Day of course, but as was said before, It's all about the soaps, This is going to be a very interesting week. |

And to be fair, the TV3 schedule does appear improved since Christmas, between Broadchurch, The Restaurant and The Guarantee, so by upping the standard of commercial TV, UTV I has already been of some service to the viewer.

Did they air Broadchurch series 1 on the same day as the UK. Im shocked that there not showing it at the same time as ITV tonight
RTE in the past had the same issues with some of their presenters not aware what stations were on Saorview as they had UPC at home... |

Nothing revealing in that, we knew Emmerdale and Corrie were going to grab big numbers for them. Why didn't they tell us what the rest of their programmes got or their all day share. Similar to the TV3 press releases you've previously shredded, the same can be done to this.

That's a major problem with almost all Irish TV Stations (Jury is out on UTV Ireland as it's only 5 days old) They all think that Ireland Starts and ends in Dublin. TV3 planners probably only take UPC viewers into account when they make these kind of decisions. Anyone who's into this series and has access to ITV HD on Sat or UTV on Freeview is not going to wait an hour. But of course UPC customers will have to wait, and watch in SD.

Utv Ireland I think will air most ITV shows at the same time as ITV. The only one so far which has changed is Benidorm

"RTÉ says 724 ,000 people watched the first episode of Charlie last night.
It represents 43.5% audience share. An additional 21,000 watched the first episode of the three-part drama on RTE 1 +1" Fair to say I think RTÉ won last nights battle - big big audience for Charlie. |

Of course you're right, That's why I said it was 'only one day of course' However, if they maintain that share from 6 to 11.30 they would have achieved their goals for advertisers. Both sides press releases should be looked at with caution.

Another problem for UtvI is that viewers on Saorview are required to retune to get the channel. Is there any reason to retune it a lot of people will be wondering. There's nothing really to gain or lose by retuning it. I know some people are afraid to retune incase they lose some of the spillover channels in the process.

Yes but that Primetime share is artificially inflated by the two soaps and represents 90 minutes of the evening schedule. Take them out and the share plummets. That is why it would good to see what their other shows are getting.
TV3 said they couldn't make a profit with the soaps and were not sorry to see them go. UTV on the other hand have a different opinion. One of them will end up being right. |

Well two minutes in and UtvI's news offering looks cheap and has lower production values than TV3's offering. They have the same intro music as Utvni. The studio looks awful and bare. Why on earth is Alison Comyn holding a tablet like some sort of prop?? Already trumped by RTÉ 's 6.01 - UtvI said we'll hear from finance minister Michael Noonan later in the show, the same time he was appearing live on 6.01.

Do you know people that watch soaps? If you do you should know they'll do almost anything to watch their shows. On the other hand if what you say is true UTV Ireland are doing remarkably well, Increasing numbers on TV3 without a section of their audience.

I'm really pissed off about missing Foyle's War - have watched it from the beginning and now can't see the new series!
At least the new Broadchurch is being shown on 3e. Why did they have to change it?? I hate it. |

And Foyles War, they aired an episode from 3 seasons ago that had already been screened in Ireland, at the same time as UTV NI showed a new episode last night. Seems that they are going to try to be as cheap as possible.
