THE COMMISSION FOR Communications Regulation (Comreg) has today launched a new tool to check the quality of mobile phone coverage throughout the country.
The map covers the different mobile providers and calculates their coverage and signal levels throughout Ireland.
It allows users to check their level of coverage and will also help consumers when making the choice of which network to choose based on availability in their area.
You can zoom on the map to search particularly addresses and get data on the quality of coverage down to 10 x 10 metres.
The map is colour-coded – dark brown for very good coverage, while beige indicates little to no coverage.
You can also switch between the quality of 2G, 3G and 4G signal on the map.
Comreg will update the map on a regular basis, and also plans to launch a mobile phone app in the near future.
Its commissioner Jeremy Godfrey said: “ComReg’s mobile phone coverage map gives users independent and consistent information about the coverage they can expect from different mobile networks at different locations.
We all have different requirements for coverage, depending on where we live, work, study and spend our leisure time. The map will enable users to identify providers that can best meet their individual needs.

The worst news. My thoughts and condolences to the wonderful people of New Zealand :-(
If these killers wanted to make a stand against Islam why didn’t they head over to Iraq, Syria Afghanistan etc and take on the real terror islamists, not some poor people praying in a mosque in New Zealand.
@Macus Mc Mahon: The majority of Westerners who went to Syria to fight ISIS are linked to socialist groups (e.g. the UK’s Bob Crow Brigade) as the Kurdsidh groups they join over their, International Freedom Battalion and the United Freedom Forces, are communist. A few right wing Norwegian fighters went to Syria to fight ISIS, but they joined Assad’s forces and were supported by Russia.
@Macus Mc Mahon: because, underneath it all, they’re cowards.
This is so incredibly appalling and shocking. My heart goes out to New Zealand and the Muslim community there. Such a sad day.
Shocking.
shock to the Muslim community I am sure . Terrible how some people view the value on life.
Terrorism, plain and simple
@Pól Ó’hAodha: exactly in the truest sense and meaning of the word
While it is a shame for the victims, I can see this type of thing being more widespread with people’s views on (contempt with) religion changing.
@Stephen O’Donoghue: it’s white supremacy, not religion.
@Smiley: it may well be :)
@Smiley: Excellent analysis – you’ve even beaten the investigators in coming to that conclusion.
@Viktor: Ummm… maybe I got it from New Zealand’s Prime Minister. Keep up, lad.
Is this the guy that live streamed the shootings acting like he was in a video game. Poor things
@Paddy Jennings: I just came across it on twitter. Disgusting.
I think hate in the world needs to be taken away (obviously). Tolerance and integration are key.
If this guy worked with Muslim people or integrated with them in some way he’d realize they are generally lovely people.
Places like London are great in that you realize most people from all faiths colors are good people because you live and work with them every day
Ireland too should focus on integration of many Muslim refugees, ( rather than bundling them together in one hotel as in rooskey ) then the haters opinions will soon change and they’ll realize groups like isis are totally unrepresentative
@Padraig Salah: this quote seems appropriate to what you’ve said “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite”
@Padraig Salah: as a foreigner in Ireland and after having lived in various parts of the world, I have to say majority of the Irish people are lovely human beings…fare play to the true Irish souls..
@Padraig Salah: From a human Icon – Nelson Mandela
@Stephen O’Donoghue: now you’re just being daft for the sake of it.
@James Wallace: Not all of us see religion as a good thing. If you feel that you need to believe in God to make death less upsetting then fine, but mostly it brings oppression with it.
@Sam Harms:
Beautiful quote. Profound.
This is what happens when immigrants are demonized…
@John D: a lot of them were probably born there too so aren’t even immigrants
God what is this world coming to. My thoughts and prayers for all involved.
Headbanger. RIP to those impacted
This Australian Fraser Anning should be arrested for incitement to hatred. There is very little separating his attitude from the attitude that gave birth to the ISIS mentality. The vast majority of Christians, Muslims, people of other religions and none are basic ordinary people living basic ordinary lives with no intent to harm anyone.
The real problems are the lunatic radicalized fringes who set out to destroy and the sinister figures in the background who do the radicalizing.
Almost 50 people dead and an equal amount injured in one of my favourite cities which previously sat quietly on the East Coast of the remote South Island. Terror has no boundaries and terrorism does not recognise race, religion or politics. It is not ‘right wing’ terror as at least one of the terrorists has been described as an anarchist. It is not ‘Kiwi’ terror, as at least one terrorist is Australian. It is not exclusively ‘male’ terror, as one terrorist is female. It is pure, unadulterated terror, and it is disgusting. How such a co-ordinated attack with what must have been at least a semi-automatic weapon, with a known extremist who crossed a border at some point, has occurred is mind boggling. The country has changed forever…
48 people have died, so far.
@Smiley: exactly! How long before more innocent people will die in some sort of retaliation because of today. RIP to all those who lost their lives
@David Weston: there was a shooting at a mosque in Quebec back in January 2017 and there was no known retaliation to that. Albeit the death toll was a lot lower, I don’t think the assumption of retaliation is fair here to be honest.
@Jen McCartney: sorry Jen is just my opinion, didn’t know I was dealing with an expert in terrorism . I hope the Muslim communities in New Zealand and around the world share your views
@David Weston: Muslim communities around the world aren’t extremists and so probably do agree with Jen, they would be against terror attacks of any kind and don’t support Islamic extremists.
@David Weston: yes I understand it’s your opinion and I’ve just given you mine. No need to get so defensive, I don’t claim to be an expert. I lived in Canada at the time and a small part of me worried about retaliation but my fears were completely unfounded. I’m not a fan of any religion but no one religion is worse than any other, to me anyway.
@Sam Harms: what you said is so true, it’s like saying majority of the white race support or Christian’s support KKK
@Jen McCartney: don’t mind him he hasn’t left his shed in the field yet. I agree with you. Bit childish someone gives an opinion believing as fact and you give a very basic response that made sense and all he can do is troll. I rem that attack I live in Canada too. No retaliation whatsoever and in a country where they are minority just living simple lives like us all far less likely to have any retaliation. They don’t want it.
I’ve seen footage via WhatsApp. The guy filmed it all via GoPro. Shocking stuff
The media shouldn’t be giving these nut jobs the attention that there getting. We don’t want to see the face of who did it I think we’d rather see the faces of the poor victims these people murdered and show them and there families the respect that the killers certainly didn’t have for any form of human life or any religion or any bs reasoning that they did this. There’s many words I’d use to describe these evil people none of them would get past the journals language filter let’s just say
Profile of a murdering coward.Picked a peaceful place where he knew he could carry out his hate filled crimes.
Shocking and sad day for New Zealand and the world.
Thoughts with all those families affected.
Now that they have him … he should be publicly stoned, then lashed, Then quartered and left to bleed to death. And anyone tracked down on social media found to have cheered him on arrested and shot
What a dirtbag. Prob has a pic of anders breivik on his wall
Shocked.
have your say
