Alan B: As far as I can see it cuts off at just about level with Granard, although there is a little pocket of reception shown at slightly NW of Mullingar, but Granard can really be taken as being the limit for reception.

Hello, when the switch over takes place will RTE channels be available from the Brougher transmitter? Also, will services improve for those in the Monea Derrygonnelly areas?
Thank you
