Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Commission for Communications Regulation Performance Review: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Gerry Fahy:

It is not ComReg's remit to deal with digital skills. Let us consider the metrics. In terms of usage of mobile devices and the amount of data that Irish consumers use, the levels are well above the European average. There are several different metrics. I agree that digital skills are important in terms of exploiting the technologies put in place, but it is not ComReg's role to pursue that.
