Written answers

The Report of the Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce was published in December 2016 and included 40 actions to alleviate barriers to mobile phone reception and broadband access. An Implementation Group was established in early 2017 to oversee the delivery of the actions in the report.

An Implementation Review of the Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce report was published on 21 February 2017, and provides a comprehensive progress report on all 40 of the actions included in the original report.

The Review shows that 29 of the actions were completed or substantially completed by the end of 2017, and 11 actions were carried forward to the 2018 work programme of the Implementation Group for completion, with revised timelines for delivery.

Full details are in the Implementation Review which is available on my Department's website at: https://drcd.gov.ie/wp-content/uploads/Implementation-Review-2017-PDF-with-cover.pdf.
