Since I am nable to contact Sony Ireland (or Sony Europe) and -let's be clear - Sony's support pages are not great when it comes to resolving issues - I'm hoping one of the representatives will be able to answer the question here.
This is really a user to user community forum, and as such Sony is not here.
Occasionally you may see some replies from Sony representatives but not often.
I would bet that the warranty for the TV is only active in the country it was purchased.
Unless you are thinking of taking the TV back to the old country for Christmas you may just have
to pay for a repair or buy a new TV.
