Roaming charges to be tackled

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern said the problem of roaming charges, where people on both sides of the Border are charged for international calls needs to be resolved.

He said both governments are following up this issue with the Regulators and mobile phone operators.

At the Dublin Chamber of Commerce AGM last night, he added that out of the 80,000 homes completed nationwide last year, over 27,000 of them were in the Greater Dublin area - an increase of 124% over 10 years.
