Raidiո na Gaeltachta service in Mayo

Summary

Gallagher cited poor reception and the lack of local programme staff in Mayo, seeking a serviced studio for its scattered Gaeltacht. The Minister did not address the studio request specifically but said he wanted adequate reception nationwide.

Denis Gallagher Mr. D. Gallagher Fianna Fáil

Is the Minister aware that in my county there have been complaints during the years because of the lack of proper reception? The area concerned also lacks the services of the other Gaeltachtaí in the matter of having people on the ground for Raidio na Gaeltachta programmes. As Mayo is the third largest Gaeltacht and in view of the nature of the Gaeltacht itself in that it is scattered from Tourmakeady on the Galway border to Carratigue in the north of the county, there is a need to have a serviced studio in Mayo. We have been looking for this over a period without success.

I cannot go into that kind of detail because it is not appropriate for me to do so. However, I am anxious that there would be adequate reception in respect of Raidio na Gaeltachta not only in all the Gaeltachtaí but also throughout the country.
