Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Broadband Connectivity and Telecommunications Issues: Eir

Ms Carolan Lennon:

I do not know the answer to that first question in terms of why we are still applying for masts, unless that is an overhang, but one of the whole points of selling the tower infrastructure to someone like Phoenix Tower International is to facilitate that consolidation. I agree with the Deputy. In a country this small, we should all be on as many of the same sites as possible. That is what has happened in other countries where specialised tower infrastructure companies take on that business and then encourage all the networks to use the same infrastructure. That makes absolute sense.
