My Department is in discussion with Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in relation to a request by ComReg referring to ongoing and additional resourcing needs, including in relation to telecommunications market developments and EU regulatory revisions, the National Broadband Plan State Intervention and the ongoing work of the Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce. During the course of this ongoing engagement my Department is focused on ensuring that the Regulator is appropriately resourced to meet current and future challenges in delivering on its statutory and regulatory remit.
