Despite what appeared in the press, no final decisions have been made in that regard. I can assure the Deputy of that, as I am a member of the EU Council that deals with that issue.

As I mentioned earlier, we have referred the Deputy's concerns to ComReg. I have come across this issue in one or two other parts of the country as well, and I do not doubt anything the Deputy says. While it is time consuming, it can help enormously to carry out a systematic assessment of where the problem is occurring, as well as documenting how often the problem has occurred and listing particular black spots. The Deputy may have done this already or perhaps he might think that it should not have to be done, but such data could assist enormously in achieving a credible and reliable response. Specific details would certainly help, but I am not doubting the Deputy for a second.
