Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Commission for Communications Regulation Performance Review: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Kevin O'Brien:

The directive was transposed by the Department. It was the Department's task to do that. Once transposed, the first step for ComReg was to set out a dispute process for if a dispute was taken to us under the directive. We have done this. We consulted on it and set out the timelines and processes that ComReg would follow if there was a request under the directive from one operator to access another entity's infrastructure. We have not had any disputes or requests brought to us at this stage but we are ready to accept them if they arrive.
