Rabbitte orders Saorview probe over signal fears

Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte has ordered RTÉ to review its rollout of Saorview digital TV after claims that hundreds, if not thousands, of homes in West Cork will be denied the service, which is being switched on in October.

Concerns have been raised about the reception in parts of Rosscarbery, Reenascreena, Leap, Timoleague, Dunmanway, and Skibbereen.

Mr Rabbitte ordered the review after he was petitioned by Cork South West TD Jim Daly.
