Impressum


 site symbol for DAB+ Ireland's public-service broadcaster RTÉ operated a national ensemble until 2021. Two low-power small-scale trials have also been conducted from Donnybrook. Since then, and until recently, DAB/DAB+ broadcasting in the country had consisted of a number of ensembles with "local" coverage that operated intermittently in Dublin, Cork and Dundalk.
A year-long trial covering Greater Dublin and the North East began in March 2025, which has since been extended by a further 12 months. A second ensemble is being brought into service in April 2026 that will cover the South, South West and West of the country.
