No. With the networks, if the operator is physically located in ireland or if it is operating from Ireland and is licensed here, it has control. That is the very nature of what an operator is. It has control of its operations wherever they are located around the world. It can see them and inspect them from its central base. If it is being regulated and inspected by ComReg, which has powers of inspection and is allowed to see what the operator can see or compel the operator to provide ComReg with any information they require, then they can see what they have in their network or in their system.
