Ceist:

138 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Public Enterprise if she will raise with the relevant authority the question of television reception and communication to Northern Ireland in the context of the Good Friday Agreement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6604/99]

Minister for Public Enterprise (Mrs. O'Rourke)

I have contacts from time to time with the Northern Ireland Secretary of State with a view to developing closer North-South co-operation on communications matters. In relation to television reception, this is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands.
