Newly released consolidated figures show that The  Eurovision Song contest ranked amongst the   Top 10 programmes broadcast by any channel available in Ireland in 2012

Most Irish Viewers watched it on local broadcaster RTÉ Television. This statistic was extremely significant given that RTE , mostly a terrestrial station in 2012  and the majority of  TV homes  subscribe to some form of digital service.
