Ceist:174 Mr. P. Gallagher (Laoighis-Offaly) asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications in relation to MMDS broadcasting, if his attention has been drawn to plans by Suir-Nore Relays to encrypt all channels, including those received free by satellite, they provide to their customers and in so doing to impose an extra cost on subscribers who are already paying substantial sums for service; his views on whether this represents an abuse of a monopoly position; the action, if any, he will take to rectify this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
