Yes. Those regulations are being drafted and I think the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, intends to present them to the committee before the end of the year. I wish to highlight, however, that local authorities are still going against Government policy and direction from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government and charging development contributions for the roll-out of communications infrastructure. I plead with colleagues in this House, some of whom spoke earlier on the roll-out of infrastructure in their constituencies yet they are taxing the roll-out of infrastructure. It needs to be resolved quickly.
