Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

I will probably defer to Mr. Neary who is more a wireless technology expert than I am. I am a mere accountant and not an engineer. My simple answer to that is that it very much depends on where one is in Waterford, Wicklow or Kerry. Is one in line-of-sight to a mast on the nearest hill? Again, that is something that has been looked at in detail across every townland in this country.
