Poor television reception

Summary

Lyons suggested poor reception in some areas contributed to the licence problem. The Minister invited details of any specific region and said RTE was working to improve reception where it was inadequate.

Would the Minister agree that the problem arises to quite a large extent from the fact that there is poor reception in various parts of the country?

That is a separate question.

I suggest that the Minister pay attention to that aspect.

If the Deputy has any specific region in mind perhaps he would let me have the details so that I might take the matter up with RTE. I am aware that there are some pockets in which reception is not up to scratch, but RTE make every effort possible to improve reception in such areas.
