Vol. 525 No. 2

Written Answers. - Television Reception.

Jimmy Deenihan

Question:

757 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will request RTE to improve the reception of RTE 1, Network 2 and TG4 in the area immediately east of Cahirciveen town, County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24001/00]

The issue raised by the Deputy is the day to day responsibility of the RTE Authority and I have no statutory function in the matter. However, in accordance with long-standing custom, I am prepared to furnish to the House information supplied by RTE in response to questions relating specifi cally to improvements in reception of national broadcasting services.

RTE informs me that good quality reception of RTE 1, Network 2 and Teilifís na Gaeilge is available in the area immediately east of Cahirciveen town from the Carhan Road community system, using the correct aerial installation.
