Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
ComReg’s Enforcement Functions: Discussion
Ms Helen Dixon:
The Deputy is right. I think it is only going to emerge over time. For our part, what we are trying to do is ensure there is competition in the wholesale market. We now have three providers that are seeking to roll out as far as they can in the commercial space. They have no desire to bypass any households in the commercial space; they only end up doing so where they discover it is unviable. From a broad base picture, yes, we are not going to know for several years which of those areas are definitively bypassed. As the Deputy said, some of the operators are saying they will skip that area for now but may come back and see if they have a solution later on.
