438. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment his views on whether ComReg, which is obliged to implement Government policy directives issued to it by him in regulating the market, is doing so in the absence of a current directive on the national broadband plan, NBP, and is relying on an expired 2003 directive; his further views on whether the current award process is in line with the NBP and the State’s obligations to protect and promote competition in the market for next generation access services; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
