Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The property referred to by the Deputy is a historic property. It is the policy of the Office of Public Works (OPW) not to install telecommunications masts at such properties.

However, as part of the OPW's Mast Programme, the OPW will request its third party service provider to engage with all Mobile Network Operators (MNO) who may have an interest in providing an enhanced service at an appropriate OPW owned site in the Doneraile area.

Question No. 230 answered with Question No. 225.
