154 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Finance the number of public buildings currently renting roof space to telecommunications companies; the number of additional public buildings from which it is proposed to rent such space for the erection of masts; the income generated in this manner; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21487/05]
View answerSince October 2004 the Commissioners of Public Works have granted 28 licences, in respect of 19 State-owned buildings, to mobile telephone operators. As the process is ongoing it is not possible to say how many additional licences will be granted in the future. While the exact licence fee depends on the amount of equipment installed, the average licence fee is €12,500 per annum.
