A producer of the show commented, `` We 've got fantastic production people in Ireland who, I believe, deliver a show that 's comparable with any of those shows on a fraction of the budget. So we 're looking forward to the task of doing this equally the same way. '' It became quickly apparent that the television studios at RTE Television Centre in Dublin were too small for the large scale production of Dancing with the Stars would require, with the largest television studio at RTE Studio 4 at 6,525 Sq Ft would be too small and so the production have had to be based in Ardmore Studios located in County Wicklow, whose largest studio there are 15,000 Sq Ft.
