By altitude

Ireland: mostly low altitude, which points to local, low-power jammers. How this is read.

Ireland: an aircraft is counted in each layer it crosses, so the rows do not add up.

Background

Irish law prohibits the unauthorised use of jamming or spoofing equipment, which the communications regulator, ComReg, enforces, according to a 2024 parliamentary answer (Dáil Éireann, May 2024). In June 2026 the Irish Times reported that Ireland was keeping older ground-based navigation aids in service in response to jamming it linked to Russia (Irish Times, June 2026). For the reporting on interference in Ireland, and who it is attributed to, see Western Europe.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of Ireland are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 51.4° N to 55.5° N and 10.5° W to 5.9° W.

Ireland is counted under Western Europe.

Ireland: low reported accuracy points to interference but does not prove it, and the map cannot locate a transmitter or say who is responsible. How the map is made.
