In November 2015, Irish telecommunications company Eir acquired Setanta Sports.

For a brief period from June 2011, Setanta Ireland experimented with music programming and Irish films as part of its line-up.

[6] In 2012 Setanta had the Irish rights to cover all of Liverpool's home games live in the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League group stage.

In August 2013, Setanta Ireland started showing Premier League Highlights for the first time.

The new show Premier League Central took over from RTÉ who had previously held the rights.

[7][8] The former company Setanta had previously hoped to have a high-definition channel launched by August 2008, in time for the 2008–09 Premier League season.

[10][11] Eir Sport offers commercial venues in Ireland programming of sports such as football (soccer), Gaelic football, hurling, golf, cricket, rugby union and rugby league and boxing.

The deal ran until 2019, when Sky TV took over BT's distribution rights in Ireland, bundling BT's channels with that of Premier Sports to produce the Sky Sports Extra bundle, only available in Ireland.
