338 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the extent to which mobile telephone coverage and quality of service has improved in the past five years; the way in which he intends to address the issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26584/03]
339 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources his views on whether there is a need for an improvement in the coverage offered by mobile telephone service providers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26585/03]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 338 and 339 together.
The provision of telecommunications services is a matter for the private companies operating in a fully liberalised market, regulated by the Commission for Communications Regulation. I have no statutory function in the matter.
