    Simon Coveney has launched a BB bill today then- a whole week after Shane Ross announced his proposed bill.
    Talk about grabbing onto Ross' coat tails.

    Fran666,

    But Coveney's stance is just a "Document" publishing a Fine Gael wish-list for Broadband rather than a definite Bill to be debated and passed, is it not? Not an actual Bill, per se. Or have I got it wrong?

    Whether or not, I salute Simon C's movement on the issue anyway ......... the more that this dire situation with Broadband in the country is highlighted the better, as far as I'm concerned.

    Fair play to him, I say.

    hmmmmmm :(

    why can't Coveney and the blueshirts endorse Shanes Bill, they has nothing to offer in addition to it and are too thick to formulate anything better !

    debated on today fm's last word today. irelands average broadband is 3mb, coveney said in france it was 42mb
    can't stand coveneys smugness, up there with michael martins, but without martins incompetetence, mainly due to coveneys lack of a ministerial post or the unlikely event he will ever get one.
