John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

I join the call for a debate on the regulation of the mobile phone market, especially because we are paying so much more than other Europeans. I raised this several times during the last session when I noted that there was a duopoly and no competition in the market. That has changed and the Government should take strong action, just as it has recently on issues of concern such as deferral of pay for the Ministers, school water charges and the provisional driving licences. The Government has acted correctly and it won the election. In light of all that was said about it and put before them the people decided this was the best Government.
