Sean Kenny, Labour TD for Dublin Bay North and member of the Oireachtas Committee on Communications, has welcomed the launch of 4G services in Ireland.

"4G services allow users internet access at data speeds up to 10 times faster than the current quality. The service has been launched so far by Eircom and I know that other telecoms companies will be launching their own products soon."

"4G services provided over mobile phones and other connected equipment such as iPads and laptops allow users to access data speeds up to 10 times faster than current 3G technologies. Users can send and receive emails, browse the internet, play games, download apps and music or upload content to social media at higher speed and without interruption than is currently possible. The speeds available to the business sector will match those available elsewhere for web browsing and video streaming."

"This launch represents a substantial commercial investment and are a clear indication of investor confidence in the recovering Irish economy. Access to 4G services will maintain and boost this country's competitiveness. I hope that this latest telecoms development will quickly spread to all areas of the country."
