Legislation

 
Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Eamon Ryan T.D. has signed an Order under the Broadcasting Act, 2009, requiring RTÉ to ensure that their free to air digital television service is operational and available to 90% of the population by 31st October 2010.

This order, Statutory Instrument 85 of 2010, the RTÉ (National Television Multiplex) Order 2010, is available at the following link.

Legislation for the provision and development of DTT services in Ireland was enacted under the Broadcasting Act, 2001 and updated in the Broadcasting (Amendment) Act, 2007.  Both these pieces of legislation have now been superseded by the Broadcasting Act, 2009.
