It appears that in some of the problematic locations that have been mentioned today, the existing masts that were put up with the co-operation of RTE a number of years ago offer the only answer. Is RTE giving serious consideration to the retrofitting or upgrading of these masts, which could be done for a reasonable sum of money? We have already asked for this to be done. I think it is a simple solution. It has been done in certain counties. Why can it not be done in the area of south Kerry to which we are referring? These masts are prevalent in the area. They are working. They have provided transmission to people over the years.
