Significant parts of rural Ireland without TV and not a word

Since Monday evening many homes in the West Kerry village of Castlegregory have been without terrestrial television.  RTE 1 is the station most affected by the blackout.

RTE technical help at first said there was no problem with their transmitter at Mullghanish or at the booster station at Ballybunion. But today they admitted that there have been problems with television reception in Sligo, Limerick and Kerry.

The spokesperson said it is due to the current high pressure and atmospheric issues.

And still not a word about the problem in the national media. If one street in Dublin were left for one hour without television it would be a national story.

The rural urban divide.
