Carrier pigeon or phone call in Carlow? The pigeon would be better in some parts says councillor!

A Carlow Councillor says you’d be better off sending out carrier pigeons than trying to make a phone call in some parts of the county.

Charlie Murphy says the worst affected areas seem to be in South Carlow over to the Myshall and Bunclody areas.

Councillor Murphy told KCLR News that he’s written to all of the mobile service providers but there doesn’t seem to be a solution in sight.

He says he has to go out and stand on a fence outside his home to take a call on his mobile and he knows many other people in rural areas are in similar situations.
