Galway Bay Fm newsroom- There is growing concern in Connemara about the poor quality of the mobile phone network in the area over the past few months.
Dr Michael Casey of Carna has now said that slippage in mobile phone quality is a matter of concern in medical circles.
The difficulties range from sporadic lack of coverage, breakdowns during calls and poor quality reception. The 087 network is the most commonly used in Connemara.
Now Dr Michael Casey of Carna has called for immediate action to restore the quality of the mobile phone service. Dr Casey says that many calls to doctors nowadays come through mobile phones; some people no longer use landlines in their houses. The poor service on the mobiles is creating difficulties for patients and the doctor alike in west Connemara and this, he said, can be a matter of much concern, medically.
Local Councillor Joe Folan has also raised the mobile phones issue and has asked Galway County Council to intervene.
