You might get some interesting replies in the CT forum... :eek:

They might have some type of jamming system in operation for security reasons.

Not your ornery onager

Yeah, I lose coverage every day driving through there from about the zoo up to the OS roundabout. I hadn't thought that it was anything to do with the US ambassador, i just presumed it was a blackspot as there are no towers close by. I wonder does Mary have any problems with coverage?

There is actually a mast disguised as a tree about 100 mts away on Furze Road on the left side.

Drive up the main road past the ambassadors residence towards Castleknock_Take a left turn after the residence onto Furze Road-This road is closed off halfway up.Just before the barriers look over to the left and you will see it in amongst the other t(h)rees.

Of course if your driving in the opposite direction ie from Castleknock -just read my directions backwa:D:Drds

Those Tree Masts are pretty cool I think. A mate of mine in westmeath always points one near his house out. Apparently they're just meant to look like less of an eyesore, which is a great idea. Except I cant help but stare at it since I was told about it. :P

If you look there, you can see all of the phone masts around the country.
There is no shortage of them in the park, so maybe you are on to something

It's only the ambassador's house, it's not the embassy (where there is no problem with coverage nearby by the way) so I don't think it has anything to do with there
