141 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Public Enterprise the extent and use of mobile phones for each year since 1997; the penetration that usage of mobile phones in 2000 represents as a percentage of the population; the way in which this compares in a European context; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

My Department does not collect statistics on this matter. It is a matter for the Director of Telecommunications Regulation, ODTR. The Deputy may be interested in the Irish Communications Market quarterly review which is available on the ODTR website: http://www.odtr.ie – document No. 01/14. The review, published by the ODTR, includes the results of a survey conducted to identify usage of telecommunication suppliers in the residential market, including fixed lines and mobiles.
