I wish to make a point. While we were talking, I put a message on Facebook about what we are doing here and I got two quick responses. One stated that coverage in Doolin is fairly bad. The other told me about Whitegate in County Clare, which I know a lot about, stating that Vodafone Ireland says the coverage is classed as fair but the responder has two phones, one of which is the older type and one is a smartphone, neither of which has coverage most of the time. It is clear that the methodologies ComReg uses to establish whether the coverage is up to a standard are not working. I need to hear from Mr. Godrey, or perhaps he can come back to us, that he is prepared to look at the methodologies ComReg is putting in place to check these service obligations.
