Communications Regulation (Amendment) Bill 2007: Report and Final Stages (Resumed)
12:00 pm
Liam Fitzgerald (Fianna Fail)
I thank the Minister of State for his time and I thank the Minister, Deputy Noel Dempsey. I understand, although I was not present, that despite the disappointment expressed by certain Senators, some amendments were accepted. I reiterate what Senator Kenneally said on Second Stage, namely, that this is a very important Bill, notwithstanding what certain people see as shortcomings and which they have identified today. It will be an effective legislative mechanism, some of which is by regulation, to enable ComReg to deal with a rapidly changing industry where technology literally changes every day.
