Question:25 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications whether British Telecom is planning to enter the Irish telecommunications market by means of a contractual arrangement with the ESB. [19541/96]
Written Answers. - Irish Telecommunications Market.
The fact that the ESB has the second largest telecommunications infrastructure in the State is undoubtedly an attraction for companies wishing to enter the Irish telecommunications market.
The ESB is being approached by a number of companies but there are no contractual arrangements in place between the ESB and British Telecom or indeed any other company, apart from commercial arrangements with both Eircell and ESAT for the use of some of its sites for mobile antennae.
