Vol. 259 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - RTE Reception.

165.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is aware of the very poor television reception in the Glanmire-RiverstownSallybrook area, County Cork, which has been the subject of many complaints over the past four years; if he is aware that the provision of a transposer would remedy the defects; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The improvement of television reception is a matter primarily for Radio Telefís Éireann. I understand that RTE propose to provide a transposer to improve reception in the area mentioned by the Deputy but that, because priority is being given to the more populous areas of poor reception, it is not likely to be provided before the end of 1973.
