Does anyone outside of Ireland care to test these streams?

I've tried here in ROI via an international proxy server. I get the file giving the stream details for your media player, so its not blocked internationally at that level. I'm just not sure that the stream is receivable outside the country.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they have implemented filtering for international IP addresses at the level where a user attempts to connect via a web page, but neglected to do it for the actual stream source.
It could prove handy for GAA fans or expats looking to keep up with 'The News'. Apart from an early look at lost and the odd other American TV series, there's not much of interest there for the rest of you foreigners
