As Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, I have no role in relation to the roll-out of digital audio broadcast services.

Under the provisions of the Broadcasting Act 2009, the roll-out of public digital radio services is a matter for RTÉ, and the roll-out of commercial digital radio services is a matter for the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) in conjunction with relevant commercial radio broadcasters.
