Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

What technology does the Minister propose to utilise to achieve coverage for the 10% or 15% to which he referred? Will it be wireless, satellite or a combination of the two? Will it include places like the Black Valley in County Kerry, which the Minister has been shyly skirting for the past few years, and areas in the midlands, with which the Minister would be much more familiar, that do not even have adequate traditional telephone services?

The Minister mentioned that we have turned the corner but we have been turning the corner for the past two years.
