Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 November 2008
123 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he has raised with the Garda Commissioner this Deputy’s proposal, articulated during statements on the killing of a person (details supplied), that the roll-out of secure digital radio to Limerick be brought forward to at least coincide with its roll-out to Dublin; and if so the new expected date of roll-out for Limerick. [42052/08]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to my Replies to Parliamentary Questions No. 287 on 18 November and 362 and 363 of 21 October last which set out the overall approach to the implementation of the National Digital Radio Service and specifically for the Limerick Division.
There are a wide range of factors that determine the roll-out plans for the national infrastructure and there is regular communication between my Department, the Garda Síochána, the Department of Finance and other agencies on the implementation plans for the service. The plans are kept under review and Garda operational requirements continue to be taken into account in determining the overall schedule.
