asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether in view of the fact that the mountains and hills which surround most of North Tipperary are likely to present a special problem for television reception, arrangements will be made to set up a booster transmitter on Keeper Hill, Nenagh, which in addition to serving North Tipperary would also serve at least eleven of the southern counties.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Television Reception: Tipperary Booster Transmitter.
54.
The provision of a television system which will give a satisfactory service throughout the State will be a matter for the Broadcasting Authority, when established. However, I am advised that a transmitter or "booster" station on Keeper Hill should not be necessary. Arrangements are already being made for the acquisition elsewhere of sites for transmitters to serve the Southern counties.
