Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Mobile Telephone Coverage and High Speed Broadband Availability: Discussion

11:50 am

Ms Katherine Licken:

It gets shown up on a map as an area where no one is prepared to go, and therefore the State has to intervene and pay for the service.
