A new radio system for Irish police agencies is still two years away, the Minister for Justice Michael McDowell has revealed. A new system was first planned 12 years ago, but the project has been moving slowly ever since. The new radio system will be used nationwide and use digital technology and cost about $133 million. Political opponents of the minister say he’s making the annoucement no as a pre-election publicity stunt, but McDowell denies that. The current radio system was built in 1984 and has lots of deadspots. The new radio system would be compatible with the UK system and others used in Europe.
