I am assuming that the Deputy is referring to a settlement between the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) and Eircom which has been reported in the press. I understand that this agreement has not been published and is essentially a private agreement between the two parties in connection with the downloading of copyrighted music from the internet. Because the issues involved relate to copyright law and the telecommunications infrastructure, I must inform the Deputy that my Department has no responsibility in relation to this matter.
