Mr. Richard Walsh:

The Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smyth, set up a nuisance communications task force to challenge the mobile operators to see what they can do to help reduce the number of fraudulent calls and SMS messages that have been distributed. On the back of that we have started a good engagement with ComReg. We have worked on one or two initiatives together, which have shown very positive results. To me, that is a taster of what we could do in Ireland if we can get this cross-sectoral approach going.
