Mr. Peter McCarthy:

I am glad to have the opportunity to clarify that. Paragraph 75 (e) of the State aid approval decision of the European Commission addressed to Ireland in respect of the State aid to be provided to Enet under the concession agreements for the Metropolitan Area Networks, phases two and three, states that the State retains ownership of the infrastructure and attributes its management to an independent MSE which cannot act as a retail service provider. Enet is the MSE and neither Enet nor ETNL act as a retail service provider.
