As proposals are developed for a national rollout of digital terrestrial television the question of possible analogue switch-off dates will be considered.
When a decision has been taken on the timing of analogue switch-off, it will be necessary to ensure that all Irish viewers, including the elderly and people with disabilities, are provided with detailed information to assist them in the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting.
