Labour TD says mobile operators should answer for poor service

A Labour TD wants the country’s mobile operators hauled before an Oireachtas committee to answer questions about their coverage.

Clare Labour TD Michael McNamara says claims of “99% coverage” by Ireland’s three mobile phone licence holders “has more holes in it than their service”.

Providers have claimed that they have up to 99% coverage, which Mr McNamara believes is leading customers to understand that 99% of the country has mobile phone coverage.
