@Alan+B+Ireland as far as I am aware the answer is No  it won't be which is why you cannot find it  on the  the EPG 

Have a read of the thread below it explains more

Presumably it would be available on a Freesat receiver, and perhaps accessible as a manually tuned additional channel on Q?

I think the BBC itself, Sky Ireland and the BAI would all have to be in agreement for BBC3 to get a Sky EPG slot in the Republic: as I noted in that other thread, this is the first time a BBC channel has faced such an issue since Brexit, which may be a complicating factor for both regulation and content licensing.

If you wanted to manually tune, you should find it on these transponders;

Hopefully this article explains the issue with BBC Three in the republic of Ireland.  https://rxtvinfo.com/2022/why-is-bbc-three-missing-in-the-republic-of-ireland

Hi all.

I asked the BBC about BBC Three launching in Ireland. 

They said: 
"At this time, no official deal has been made between the BBC and Irish broadcasters but it is possible some deal will be made in the coming weeks to bring BBC Three to Irish TV."

So, as it stands right now, BBC Three will not be added to any Irish provider for the forseeable future. 

You can read the email I got from them here (PDF): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qMuC3mSaAWgQcxswLlyuZxjlxtIZ52JC/view
