Jim Daly TD has raised the issue
THE Department of Communications, Energy & Natural Resources under Minister Pat Rabbitte is to investigate the availability of the new national digital TV service Saorview in parts of rural West Cork.
Concerns have been raised that the area between Dunmanway and Rosscarbery in particular suffers from very poor reception due to the large number of hills and valleys.
Swallows have already been spotted this year. Pic: Wikimedia
ONE swallow may not make a summer, but perhaps three do especially when they were all spotted in West Cork in the last few days.
The arrival of the migratory birds from southern Africa traditionally heralds the beginning of warmer weather and the arrival of spring and if the swallows are anything to go by West Cork looks set to greet spring soon.
MOTORISTS are being urged to take extra care on West Cork roads tonight as temperatures are set to plummet below zero once again.
