To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he or his officials have considered the most recent Supreme Court judgement in relation to the Moriarty Tribunal report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47322/12]

I presume the Deputy is referring to High Court Proceedings taken by Persona and Comcast in relation to the award of the 2nd GSM Licence. The Supreme Court on 17 October last, delivered the reasons for its decision of July last, to allow appeals by two unsuccessful consortia in the 2nd GSM Licence Competition against High Court Orders striking out their proceedings for damages against the State.

As I indicated in July last the State will fully defend these proceedings. As the matter is the subject of court proceedings I do not intend to comment further.
