Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

On the 3G switch-off, my understanding is that is with Vodafone at the moment in the main and it is running a pilot programme in Limerick. ComReg will oversee that transition away from 3G to ensure end users will not be negatively impacted. That will be an orderly transition away from 3G, with minimal impact on end users, as I understand.

We will revert to the committee with a note on 4G. Again, the licence conditions were set by ComReg and are currently in a period of being complied with over the next couple of years. They are not at full coverage where they are. I understand they do, at a minimum, cover all villages, for example, in terms of when they get the full roll-out. Populated areas are, therefore, at least villages.
