If so,
do you consider it to be blasphemous,
or
good, honest Irish fun?

Dave is an older Englishman in his 40s or 50s. So yes, it's very likely that he saw it. He's also not really a priest so he probably didn't have an opinion on how blasphemous it was.

Never watched that show so of course I do what I do and used Wiki and read this
Regarding the series's religious content, Linehan says "Ted doesn't have an anti-religious view of life, but a non-religious view. It's a job to him. He doesn't care about religion." While writing, he says the show's creators imagined Ted and Dougal as "just two people who happen to be [priests]".
So I take it that these priests are not of the pedophile variety but will do a Nun or two or even parishioners if they are willing.

@OP
I haven't I'm afraid. In the country where I grew up UK comedy shows weren't very popular. I've just watched a few clips and it seems quite amusing. Certainly not blasphemous, at least from what I saw.
Bless you for the question, friend.
