Draft Regulations to effect transposition of Article 8 of the Broadband Cost Reduction Directive along with the associated Technical Guidance Document are at an advanced stage of development. My Department continues to engage with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage on the necessary measures to transpose this outstanding provision, in order that they can be finalised as a matter of urgency. I am advised the expected timeline for public consultation on the Regulations to be made by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage is Q1 2023 with implementation of these by Q2 2023.
