In fairness, the witnesses are going to write to us with these asks. We also need to write to the Minister.

I have one further question. It relates to the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1926. There have been difficulties with companies' antennas. I believe some of them have had engagement with ComReg, which stated that those antennas allow them to use, say, a network operator to provide mobile broadband, particularly in rural areas, which National Broadband Ireland, NBI, has not come close to touching but that some of those antennas are in breach of the Act. Do we need to update the legislation or is there some facility for allowing those antennas to be used because they are helping many people get through a gap at this point in time?
