In order to enable research into innovative new technologies, which would require transmission and reception testing within licensed bands, Test and Trial Ireland have the ability to make certain bands in the Irish wireless spectrum available for use. Test and Trial Ireland is a licensing programme which was launched by the Commission for Communications Regulation in Ireland (ComReg).

If the experimenter requires use of licensed bands further details on the programme, as well as information about how to apply for spectrum, are available at http://www.testandtrial.ie/.
