As the Deputy knows, in the first instance the Minister for communications receives and assesses the request. Following the recommendation of the line Department, consent is then sought from me. That is the process that is under way. The turnaround from the request to concurrence from me was quick. It took two weeks in May of this year. It is for the Minister for communications to assess any further request received, which I will then consider.
