Ivan Yates
Question:500 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he will clarify details of the proposed transmission system for the new Irish television station; if this will interfere in any way with the reception to households with their own individual aerial, particularly in the eastern and north eastern parts of the country, where signals are being received for BBC and UTV; if he will ensure that those households receiving their reception through such an individual aerial will not be obliged to use the MMDS or cable systems in future; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
