Radio Licensing
3:00 pm
Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
From the Minister's reply, one would think he had no role in the matter and that he could not give any general directives to ComReg. If necessary, he could, of course, legislate. When ComReg issues 800MHz and 900MHz band licences, will it be a condition to have 100% coverage across the territory of the State? Furthermore, will the Minister assure us that coverage will extend indoors? If it refers to outdoor coverage, it should be noted that most people use such devices indoors. Will ComReg insist on whoever receives a licence providing 100% coverage across the State within a fixed period?
