Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

We have not decided on the actual date as it would be wise to complete the pilot project first. ComReg has a role in licensing the spectrum.

The pilot will cost approximately €10 million over the four years to 2008. RTE estimates the gross cost at between €150 million and €160 million.

If people have a Noel Dempsey moment it might be less snowy than a Tommy Broughan moment.
