Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

RTE: Governance Issues

9:30 am

Mr. Tom McGuire:

I thank Senator Paschal Mooney for his question. There was a three day outage which I believe ends at midnight tonight. It was planned and announced and was to replace aircraft safety warning lights on the transmitter at Summerhill. The people who know tell me it takes three or four days; I hope, therefore, we will be back on air with that tomorrow. I acknowledge what the Senator says about increased power from the Algerian transmitter on 252 kHz, particularly in southern England, but generally across England. We have had feedback on that issue and it is outside our control but I will take the technical knowledge of 251 kHz or 261 kHz -----
