Michael Healy-Rae

Ceist:

268. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Communications; Energy and Natural Resources in view of the fact that RTÉ NL recently confirmed that the new Saorview service will be transmitted from 13 sites that were not included on the original list of transmission sites for the digital switch-over; the reason the Ballydavid transmitter, County Kerry which is located at the RTE studio in Ballydavid will not transmit the Saorview signal; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

RTÉ has built, owns and controls the Saorview TV network and is responsible for the roll-out, coverage and operation of that network. This includes information on transmitter sites being used. This is in accordance with Part 8 of the Broadcasting Act 2009, which provides that the development of the RTÉ network is an operational matter for RTÉ.

I have however contacted RTÉ Networks Limited on your behalf and once the relevant information is received I will arrange for it to be forwarded to the Deputy.
