128 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will elaborate on remarks of his made at the launch of a scheme (details supplied). [28012/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am always anxious to facilitate Deputies with detailed replies to questions. I touched on the following issues at the launch: the telephone system in Connemara in the 1970s and 1980s; the Border, midland and west broadband scheme; the desirability of community involvement in development; the CLÁR broadband scheme; the benefits of broadband to rural areas; and replies to questions from the media regarding broadband in schools. The Deputy will appreciate, against the background of this range of subjects, that it is not practicable to make further comment in the absence of him specifying the topic in which he has an interest.
