My statutory powers in relation to the operation of cable systems are laid down in the Wireless Telegraphy (Wired Broadcast Relay Licence) Regulations, 1974, S. I. No. 67 of 1974, and in general are confined to determining the technical specifications for such systems and to approving the charges to apply and to ensuring that cable licensees do not unreasonably refuse to provide service.
Nonetheless, I share the concern implicit in the Deputy's question in relation to Cablelink services in Dublin and this has been conveyed more than once to RTE and Cablelink.
