The provision of telecommunications, including broadband, is a matter in the first instance for the private sector companies operating in a fully liberalised market regulated by the independent Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg).

DSL availability and line failure rates are a matter for Eircom and I have no function in the matter.

Question 294: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if Eircom have been in contact with him regarding Government financial support for the upgrading of a sub-exchange in the Glanmire area due to the fact that hundreds of homes can not receive a broadband service in the Glanmire area because of the inadequacy of a sub-exchange service in that area; and if a decision on the request will be made shortly in order to eliminate this deficiency in the area.
