Digital television switchover
Healy-Rae asked about assistance for people losing television reception during digital switchover. After procedural exchanges, the Taoiseach said problems should be rectified so affected viewers could receive programmes.
Is the Government aware that tomorrow thousands of people will be left with blank television screens? Will anything be done to assist these people?

We will give Deputy Healy-Rae a big aerial to bring home with him.

There is no need for Deputy Kehoe to be smart.

It has been signalled on numerous occasions in recent months that tomorrow is the day for the digital switchover.
One hopes very few screens will go blank, but there will always be a few. That must obviously be rectified, one way or another, in order that people will be able to watch their programmes.
