Question 621: To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if broadband exchanges are to be enabled by Eircom in areas (details supplied) in County Cork to provide broadband access; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32452/07]

I have no function in the matter. The enabling of exchanges by Eircom is a matter for the company. The provision of broadband services is primarily a matter for the private sector infrastructure owners. Broadband service providers operate in a fully liberalised market, regulated by the independent Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg).
