On that, we have a bizarre situation in Dublin at the moment where planning permission had been previously granted for telephones, back when not all of us had mobile phones. Those structures still exist and are there, but they no longer have telephones on them. They have commercial advertisements, and even though the planning was granted for the purpose of having a payphone, they are now essentially circumventing some of the advertising requirements because they have the permission already. Clearly that is not a good use of our public realm and space, so I ask the Minister of State to consider that with his officials at a later point.
