The provision of telecommunications services, including broadband, is primarily a matter for private sector companies operating in a fully liberalised market, regulated by the Independent Commission for Communications Regulation, (ComReg). The statistical data sought by the Deputy is a matter for the infrastructure owners. I have no function in this matter.
