Question:

Minister for Public Enterprise (Mrs. O'Rourke)

I have contacts from time to time with the Northern Ireland Secretary of State with a view to developing closer North-South co-operation on communications matters. In relation to television reception, this is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands.
