Windfarms interfering with RTÉ reception

WINDFARMS provide energy, may be environmentally-friendly and welcome — until they interfere with your television reception.

RTÉ is in no doubt that reception difficulties are being caused by windfarms located in elevated parts of Cork and Kerry.

RTÉ also has plans to raise its transmission mast at Mullaghanish, near Ballyvourney, by 50 metres in an effort to improve reception. With more windfarms being planned, however, it looks as if problems will continue with both TV and radio signals.
