ComReg recently fined An Post €12 million. How did ComReg arrive at this figure? It is baffling to the ordinary punter. One would want an advanced degree in technical English to understand much of the documentation from ComReg. It behoves ComReg to ensure any discussions or documents are made available in plain and simple language for ordinary punters. Some of ComReg's recent documentation could in all honesty be referred to as gobbledygook rather than readable English. Everybody, whether young or old and whether in urban or rural Ireland, holds very dear the delivery of a letter and An Post's service. Will ComReg examine its overall strategy? What is ComReg's vision to ensure that not only densely populated areas but also rural areas are serviced by An Post in a deregulated market?
