I have no role or function in the matter raised in the Question.

Spectrum management and the oversight of spectrum licensing conditions is a statutory function of the Commission for Communication Regulation (ComReg) in accordance with the Communications Regulation Act, 2002 and the broader telecoms legislative framework, including the Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1926.

ComReg is statutorily independent in the exercise of its functions in accordance with Section 11 of the Communications Regulation Act, 2002 and is directly accountable for the performance of its functions to Committees of the Oireachtas in accordance with Section 34(2) of the same Act.
