RTÉ Three was a proposed channel by RTÉ Television.
It was the working title of a proposed general entertainment channel. It was initially proposed that the channel would air a variety of programming not then being shown on
Houses of the Oireachtas Channel
and the Irish Film Channel.
According to
UPC Ireland's application for the 3 commercial DTT multiplexes, RTÉ Three would broadcast during weekdays, timesharing with RTÉ Sport which would air at weekends.[2] Given that a children's channel is mooted,[clarification needed] it is likely that RTÉ Two will be reconfigured along the lines of RTÉ Three plans with RTÉ Two possibly renamed RTÉ Two-Ten.[3][4][failed verification

The station will be designed to restore more programmes and advert breaks shown between Christmas 1961 and March 6th 1985.
