Question 122: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the exchanges in County Meath that still do not have access to broadband; the expected timeframe involved in the exchanges being upgraded for the provision of broadband; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The provision of telecommunications services, including broadband, is a matter in the first instance for the fully liberalised private sector, regulated by the Commission for Communications Regulation, ComReg. The upgrading of telephone exchanges for the provision of broadband is an operational matter for Eircom, and I do not have any function in the matter.
