DAB in Ireland

Ireland presently has no Digital radio network but this year will be carrying out an experiment with a small DAB network on the east coast of the country

The network will be receivable from South County Dublin up to Dundalk and will also cover parts of countries Kildare, Meath and Monaghan – covering a population of Ireland’s national broadcaster.

Two transmitters will be used for this experiment – one located on Three Rock and overlooking the City of Dublin – the other at Clermont Carn in County Louth.

The network is being set up by the engineering of RTE – Radio Televis Eirinn – Ireland’s national broadcaster.

UCB have been selected by RTE to provide a radio service on one of the channels on this experimental network, sitting alongside programming from the likes of RTE1 and Today FM – the sound of Christian radio returning to the airwaves of Ireland – and returning by invitation !
