Professor Linda Doyle:

One of the great things about the collaborative nature of the research landscape in Ireland is that I learn lots of things from listening to Professor Fiona Doohan. I speak for both of us when I say we are really keen that if anyone ever wants to come and talk to us that they do so. We are a neutral voice because we are researchers and are not representing any companies. We are really keen that if anyone wants to come to talk to us at any time to go through the nitty-gritty of any of these things, they do so. Perhaps committee members will not all be dying to know way more about networks and spectrum but the door is very much open. We feel that very strongly. We get great funding from the State and would be happy to discuss these things. The committee may not have time as it has a huge agenda but we would be delighted for any of the people who work with it to come in and go through the basics one-on-one. We could go through what all the terms mean, what they need to know about or not know about and where the vocabulary is that is needed to be able to deal with this technical topic.
