I wish to advise the Deputy that I have not established any new State Agencies, forums or taskforces this year.

The Next Generation Networks (NGN) Taskforce completed its work in 2012 and the National Broadband Plan for Ireland, which was published recently, is informed by the findings of the report of the NGN Taskforce. The NGN Taskforce involved no additional staff.
