Given the technology we have, should a national messaging service be set up - in whatever area, be it broadband, telecommunications networks or the ESB, and given that 99% of people have mobile phones now - to inform people, working with the various providers to get updates specific to their respective counties because the providers are able to know where those phones are based? Is there merit in that on a national basis?
