Hi Joe,
B B C I Player is blocked in the Republic of Ireland.
While not catch up, you can access the U K Tv channels live on your i
phone via the voice over accessible Filmon app.
Scroll down to U K Live T V, double tap and you can access approx 50 U K
free to air channels like B B C 1, 2, 4, 5, I T V 1, 2, 3, 4, Channel 4,
Channel 5 etc.
There is no audio description I'm afraid.
There is a low cost mobile phone provider called Lyca mobile who do an
unlimited calls, texts and 20 gig of data per month offer for 15 Euro at
the moment.
Their D N S servers are based in the U K and a friend of mind has B B C
i player on his i phone working on Lyca.
However at 250 megabytes per hours or more of data, your data would
probably go fairly quick.
If you are looking for audio description, a free to air satellite system
install would pick up over 50 U K free to air channels.
B B C, I T V, Channel 4, Channel 5 etc have approx 30% of their
programming with audio description.
Another option would be to subscribe to Sky for 12 months on their 29
Euro a month basic package and cancel your subscription, you would then
be left with the dish/set top box and some U K free to air channels
including B B C 1, 2 etc.
Channel 4 on demand is accessible in the Republic of Ireland.
I have used the following web site with firefox and screen reader to
access audio described contents including Homeland, Deutschland 83 and
many more. Although there is a Channel 4 on demand i phone app which is
voice over accessible, there is however no audio description
functionality available.

I hope this is of some use.
Best wishes,
Barry.
