MMDS subscriber costs

Summary

McCartan asked about the average and annual cost of the new service. The Minister did not yet have figures, but said a legal service would likely cost more than an illegal one and would pass on available information.

Can the Minister give any indication what the average cost to the subscriber will be for the new system?

That is a separate question but I will have it looked into.

It relates to my question and I should get a reply. What will be the annual cost to the subscriber?

That remains to be seen and I do not have the information at present.

Perhaps the Minister will communicate the information to me?

I will certainly communicate any available information to the Deputy but he can take it that the cost of providing a proper, legal service will obviously be somewhat greater than the cost of providing an illegal service. I am sure the Deputy recognises that fact.
