Question 192: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if measures will be brought forward to strengthen the regulation of premium rate telephone services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2120/06]

I have no function in this matter. Premium rate services are commercial products in a commercial market. Responsibility for the regulation of the content and promotion of premium rate telecommunications services is a matter for Regtel, the independent regulator of these services. Regtel does not report to me as Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources.
