I thank Mr. Fahy and Mr. Godfrey for a lot of information on this, along with their unusual presentation.

The one statistic that jumped out at me was that the service satisfaction with mobile phone services has increased from 76% in 2013 to 90% in 2015. I have long stated, along with other members, that we want broadband to come on stream as quickly as possible but it will only happen incrementally until 2020. However, with mobile phone coverage, we used to have very good coverage but now there are so many extra blackspots. I do not agree with that statistic on mobile services. Constituents keep coming to us about this issue. I have experienced it as everybody else here has. What role has ComReg in dealing with the issue?
