How advertisers reach Irish audiences on Telegram — an English-speaking EU member inside the UK-Ireland creative pool, a fintech and tech-HQ hub, EU-regulated crypto and forex, and offshore gambling under a tightening licensing regime.

Flags — the regions we asked our observer pool for while recording this ad in this channel. That is a label on our request, not a confirmed place of viewing: when no account is available in the requested country the pool silently substitutes another and does not say so. It is not the advertiser's targeting country either. We stopped requesting the region on {date}, so newer creatives carry no flags at all. The channel's main country (by its language) is highlighted in blue; regions under 5% are collapsed into +N.
