Professor Eoin Reeves:

If the question is whether we are specialists in the telecoms area, I would not consider that to be a fair description. With regard to our experience, we have written a book about the privatisation experienced in Ireland which was largely centred on the story of Eircom. That was published in 2011. We subsequently published peer-reviewed papers on telecoms policy arising from the privatisation of Eircom which prompted much of our interest in this area. We have a degree of experience in the telecoms sector specifically but it is confined to that.
