Michael Collins (Cork South West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I acknowledge the work of the Minister of State on broadband since taking office. Another issue I wish to discuss is the lack of mobile telephone coverage. There are very serious issues, in particular, in rural Ireland where mobile telephone coverage has reduced considerably in recent months instead of progressing. Masts have been taken down in several parts of west Cork, leaving areas without any mobile telephone coverage. I would appreciate if the Minister of State would comment.
