Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

The last point is the one in which I am interested. Has the Minister received a report on the matter? Will he issue a policy document or will he issue direction to the broadcasting commission to establish experimental digital services? Given that the Minister is considering this issue, when does he believe we will have widespread availability of digital services? Does the Minister agree this technology has had a long gestation period? I have been reading reports for many years stating that technology is just around the corner. While we have turned several corners, we have yet to see a sign of it. I ask for more detail of what is around the corner.
