Agreed Derbhile,

Though not wholly related to  the topic, in many ways, the UK are miles
ahead of us when it comes to disability matters.

Hi

Not exactly related to Tony's question, but the interesting thing I can see
is that nobody has their act together here in this country about DTT. The
Government are not moving on it, RTE have barely begun and so have the
other providers. Boxer got the contract last year, but didn't do anything
to move it forward, even before they pulled out.

Yet in England, elderly people are being given a helpline to ring and a
nice friendly tech person will come round and set everything up for them.

We will all be caught unawares by DTT, regardless of whether we have a
disability or not.

My 2 cents.

Derbhile
