guiding principles

from the RTÉ document guiding principles 2006 page 23

Broadcasting law requires RTÉ’s radio and television services to have the character of a public service, to be offered free-to-air and to be universally available, where practicable, to the whole community on the island of Ireland.

while all RTÉ docs say FTA ‘free to air’ universally available, they never say except when digital to 100% of the island from the Sky.
