RTÉ: wind farms spoiling TV reception

WIND turbines on a mountainous area along the Cork/Kerry border are interfering with reception of RTÉ in parts of south Kerry, the State broadcaster confirmed yesterday.

It is also feared the problem could be much wider than was at first thought and may be exacerbated by the large number of wind farms in the pipeline for the south-west.

RTÉ sent an engineer to the area last week following complaints from people around Kilgarvan of poor reception, or no signal at all.
