Saorsat (/ˈsɛərsæt/ SAIR-sat; a portmanteau of the Irish word Saor, meaning “free”, and a shortening of the word “satellite”, therefore implying an Irish analogue of the UK's Freesat) is a free-to-air satellite service in Ireland. The service launched on 3 May 2012.[1] It was designed to provide TV service to a final 1-2% of the Irish population unable to receive other signals.
