Will the Leader to facilitate a debate in this House with the Ministers for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and Justice, Equality and Law Reform on the difficulties the TETRA system is causing to vulnerable people in the aforementioned towns and, no doubt, in other areas as it is rolled out? I welcome the introduction of the new system and do not deny its necessity. It is possible to rectify the problem by purchasing a piece of equipment that can be placed on one's aerial but it costs €300. In these times of hardship, that is a lot of money for elderly people.
