Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Mark Griffin:

We are not entitled to regulate price under the concession agreement. The basic thesis is for entities other than those that have significant market power or are in an effective monopoly situation. The only one that has SMP is Eir at present. The market will dictate the price and if one pitches a price at a level that is not acceptable to service operators one will not make a living.
