Ms Helen Dixon:

We do not directly have a function. We are members of the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications, BEREC, so we are required to take utmost account of guidelines and opinions produced by BEREC. We do not have a direct role in tariffs. On an ongoing basis we look at what is happening in other jurisdictions, including what is happening in Ofcom's jurisdiction and whether Ireland may be out of kilter in any way. What we tend to see is that the issues and challenges are common across many jurisdictions, notwithstanding that some of the providers and operators are national in operation only. The issues still somehow appear to be in common.
