No, this is about the process. ComReg has that information, which is, ultimately, paid for by An Post levies. An Post has said ComReg does not share the information gained in its quality of service measurement or does not assist An Post to improve its service. It is fine if ComReg has taken the decision that is not what it wants to do. ComReg has stated it does not seek to manage An Post. Its statutory objective gives its primary weighting to promoting the development of the postal sector and, in particular, the availability of a universal postal service, within and to and from the State, at an affordable price. Can Mr. Chisholm give me a logical reason ComReg cannot share the information with An Post that would help it identify the issues ComReg has raised in regard to compliance? How can the decision not to share it be married with the objective to promote the development of the postal sector? For example, is it not in ComReg's interest to ensure this does not torpedo An Post under the waterline?
