The symbol shows the location of the Clermont Carn (Republic of Ireland) transmitter. The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.
This transmitter has no current reported problems
The BBC and Digital UK report there are no faults or engineering work on the Clermont Carn transmitter._______
Digital television services are broadcast on a multiplexes (or Mux) where many stations occupy a single broadcast frequency, as shown below.

Thanks for the update, albeit a few years :)
The transmitter aerial will be the same antenna, so this will more likely have something to do with your reception rather than transmission - unless they are doing engineering work at present, I'm afraid I don't know of any reliable source for possible engineering information on Saorview masts.
You say that the aerial is on your balcony. so its reception could easily be frequency dependant depending on the surrounding building and balcony structure.
Have you thought about trying to reposition it slightly, or angle it upwards slightly. See if any of that makes any difference.

Thank you so much for that Steve, I didn't have time to go hunting around previously.
