Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael)

I understand we were waiting for the last person to be appointed to the project group and an appointment was made in recent days. The work will be short-term in nature. I do not envisage it will continue for a long period and expect the project team will pull the relevant information together and make a recommendation within a couple of months. It is then a question of examining costing and ensuring the costs can be met. The group is primarily cross-departmental but also has representatives of ComReg and the Garda. It will consult other organisations.
