I live in the countryside and I am not beside a national road. If I travel to Slane and on to Dublin, I might not get coverage for 20 minutes until I get to Slane. If I go the other way and through Navan, my call would also be dropped five or six times on that route. Will local and regional roads be included in the testing? There is no point in stating that overall coverage is being tested if the areas where the main bulk of people live are not included. They do not live next to a national primary road.
