Batt O'Keeffe
Ceist:104 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he is concerned that Eircell has become involved in discount marketing prior to Esat entering the market. [19171/95]
Written Answers - Eircell Marketing.
I am not certain of what the Deputy is concerned about when he speaks of discount marketing but, in general, I can say that one of the main reasons for the introduction of competition in the mobile telephony sector is to create the conditions for downward pressure on tariffs. I would be concerned if the introduction of competition did not result in tariff reductions for end users.
I have no evidence that Eircell is engaged in anything untoward in the promotion of its services.
