It is important to ensure the roll-out of digital terrestrial television, DTT. The potential provider, the Boxer company, has pulled out of the process. It would have paid money to RTE, which has already spent €40 million on DTT roll-out, with a potential further spend of €60 million. I urge the Minister to move to get the next company in line and to ensure the roll-out continues. This is important for RTE's finances and is an important project in its own right.
