Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. D. Ahern)

The report is a very useful contribution to broadband policy formulation and I welcome it. I am currently examining the detail of the report and its recommendations. I am pleased to note that many of the recommendations in the report are implicit in various facets of our broadband and information society policies.
