Mr. Kevin O'Brien:

Deputy McHugh asked about the road test methodology. We have had that methodology for a number of years. The mobile phone operators have obligations attached to their licences. We have always tested to see if they have met them. We required them to sign bonds and they received money back only when they had met roll-out obligations. They always met those obligations. We are expanding that methodology. It will encompass all national routes. I can give Deputy McHugh the detail on how we are expanding it so that it will cover more than it did in the past. The methodology was sufficient and appropriate in the past to determine whether coverage was being met, and that was the case.
