Yes, it does. Whoever will be in charge of handling broadband issues will be a very busy person. We all know that broadband cannot be quick enough - or broad enough - for us.

Under Part 7, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, the Commission for Communications Regulation, the Central Bank and other bodies will be given the power to take summary proceeding under this legislation. My question might be outside the scope of what Ms McNamara can say, which is fair enough, but if not, I would appreciate an answer. In regard to available resources, does Ms McNamara believe the necessary resources exist now or should the committee or the Oireachtas consider increasing the resources? Giving the commission powers is one thing, which I am sure it will welcome, but doing so without providing the resources will not deliver results for consumers. Will Ms McNamara comment on that issue?
