Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. N. Dempsey)

The Commission for Communications Regulation is independent in the exercise of its functions and it would not be appropriate for me to comment in detail on their recently published consultation document.

I welcome the opinions expressed by my colleague, the Minister for Transport in support of the Government's investment in the metropolitan area networks.

Question No. 98 answered with QuestionNo. 32.
