Regulatory Bodies
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-25
============================================================

Martin Kenny (SF), Sligo-Leitrim

What plans does the Department have to support ComReg in its responsibility in the communications sector as this continues to grow? We know that regulation of the digital economy is very important and this sector is continuing to grow at pace. The responsibility around the telecoms sector with broadband roll-out and ensuring that there is no monopoly present - all of these issues need to be dealt with. The issue of cyber security is also an aspect of the work that ComReg continues to take a larger role in, as that sector continues to be under more and more threat. What kind of investment are we going to see there? Will we see more employment for more people because clearly it needs more staff?
