    My ATV 4K still says “Siri isn’t available in English (Ireland) when you use the Ireland iTunes Store or App Store”, and the Siri setting is set to Off, with no way to turn it on. I’m on tvOS 12.3

    Are you using a different country store/language setup?

    Good News. With the Latest TV update (14.5) Siri is FINALLY available in Ireland. It is limited to searching for Apple related content and opening apps but it is a start. It would be better if it could search content across all your streaming apps like Google TV.

    I think the limitations are just the way Siri is on the AppleTV rather than Ireland specific.

    Here’s all the stuff you can do: https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT205300

    About the only things you can do that aren’t related to finding or controlling content are ask for the weather and ping your phone.

    The “what did he say?” command is good. As is the ability to skip back/forward x seconds or minutes. Pressing and holding the mic button and saying “pause” or “play” is no better than just pressing the pause/play button.

    It’s good that we finally have it (and the HomePod Mini coming soon), but Siri itself needs a lot of improvement.
