RTÉ has launched a new version of the RTÉ Player which will provide Irish television service to international viewers.
RTÉ Player International, which is available on devices using Apple's iOS operating system, will provide audiences with 500 hours of free and paid-for content, including just-aired shows.
The app will be a 'freemium' service, meaning users can download the app for free and access 100 hours of free content.
The full range of content can be accessed and watched free of advertising for a monthly subscription of €8.99 ($8.99/£6.99) through Apple's App Store.
The subscription helps cover the cost of securing the international rights for the content.
Launching the app, Minister for Communications, Energy & Natural Resources Alex White said: "Irish audiences abroad will now be able to avail of literally hundreds of hours of Irish television content across the full range of genres."
