DAB radio ended in Ireland

I see that the DAB service has been terminated in the Republic.

Digital Audio Broadcasting

Digital Audio Broadcasting in Ireland is no longer legally and officially one of the forms of digital radio transmission in the state. Only a small number of unlicensed low powered, small scale DAB multiplexes are running in the state. Areas near the border of Northern Ireland can receive over-spill reception of UK national and the Northern Ireland local multiplex.

DAB was launched to the public on 30 November 2006, with a number of trials taking place in 1998, 2001 and 2006. Before April 2021, 52%[2] of Ireland's population - mainly in Counties Cork, Limerick and the North East - could receive permanent DAB services. Geographic coverage on a portable or car radio was much less.[3] The service began to be marketed in May 2007 by a collective of commercial broadcasters, digitalradio.ie; and receivers to this day are still sold by most major electronics retailers.

Since 2010, a number of privately run trial broadcasts have been made.

Hopefully this means the FM service is safe for another bit.

I think it was just overtaken by streaming.....
