Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

A Fungi-ised response and I am glad the Deputy recognises it. With regard to the change-over to digital there have always been complications in a small number of areas throughout the country and special arrangements will have to be put in place so residents in these areas will be able to watch their favourite television channels and programmes. Such issues have arisen on a number of occasions over the past 25 or 30 years. There are still some areas where there are great technical difficulties in receiving programmes. The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources is very conscious of this and special arrangements will have to be put in place.
