The attached is a very nice scan of an RTE Technical Information bulletin from January 1982.

One point (out of many possible ones from the list) is the low power transposer listed for Donnybrook. At that time I lived on the South Circular Road and was never able to receive it. ISTR it replaced a similar low power 405 lines transposer on Channel 3.

Any light on this obscure little transmitter?

It was a fill in transmitter for places in SE Dublin which had problems getting Kippure

The opening of Three Rock and later Claremont Carn made it redundant
