Written answers

The provision of electronic telecommunications services, including broadband services occurs within a fully liberalised market, offered by competing services providers.  The regulation of services providers to the extent permitted by law regarding the provision and quality of such services and the investigation of complaints is a statutory function of the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg), which is independent in the exercise of its regulatory functions.

I have no statutory function in relation to ComReg's exercise of its regulatory functions. However, I have passed the details provided by the Deputy to ComReg for its attention.
