asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether he has seen a report concerning tests being carried out on certain mountain tops with a view to providing television services in the Republic, and if he will make a statement on proposals in this connection which are under consideration by his Department and other interested parties, and on the progress being made.

I have seen the report referred to. No tests for proposed television services have been or are being carried out as alleged. The second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
