- Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 29 - Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Michael Colreavy: My concern is that some schools will be super at it because there is an IT champion among the teaching staff.

We need some structured way that parents and those in the community can assume that all teaching staff have a certain level of competence and training, otherwise we will be providing a very...

- Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 29 - Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Michael Colreavy: The point I was making is that there was a large increase in the capital allocation for communications between 2012 and 2013 and that seems to be continuing into 2014. I understand projects are taking place which would account for some of the increase but there appears to be a very big increase in the capital allocation.

Will the postcode system being introduced be capable of being used with a standard satellite navigation system?

Vote 29 - Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Revised) (21 Jan 2014) Michael Colreavy: I saw some of the claims made for potential benefits from the introduction of the postcode system. I found them difficult and could not envisage them.
