Written answers

The roll-out of infrastructure for mobile telecommunications services in Ireland is primarily a matter for private mobile network operators, operating on a commercial basis, in a liberalised market regulated by the Commission for Communications Regulation, ComReg. My Department has no role in the individual roll-out plans of private operators, and I would also advise that ComReg has no role in relation to planning and development matters nor does it have any decision making role in relation to installation of 5G masts.
